I've had a digital mp3 copy of the album for a while, but I recently found a CD copy of the album, so I figured it was a good time to play it on the show. Certainly of my favorite electronic projects out there. This may have been the first album I heard from the brothers Hartnoll. By the time the third album came out, I was already hooked. Very glad that I got to see them play three times live, all in Austin, but they did play San Antonio one time. I had to miss that show, but I saw them the next night up in Austin. Glad they are still out there making some of the best electronic music available. "There is the theory of the mobius...." - Michael - MFL

29) "The Mid-Morning Recording" Bruce Springsteen-'Born to Run'
Most of this show was actually put together for a show in June, but was delayed until now. Since it's July 4th now, I adjusted the playlist a little, and swapped out the album I was going to play and thought, who is American as American can be? A working class American. For a long long time, I didn't give Bruce the respect he deserves, but after time, and experience, himself with the amazing E-Street Band, has to the hardest working band in show business. Touring and touring, and playing three to four hour sets. I could have played 'Born in the U.S.A.', but that is too on the nose really. 'Born To Run' is even more American to me. It was released in late 1975, but I feel the spirit of '76. The band was breaking out, invoking of the freedom of the U.S.A. "Tramps like us, baby we were born to run." -"Michael-"MFL
