Skipworth & Turner | Thinking About Your Love | MBE Presents Good Times 3 | I don't like to make sweeping or grandiose declarations about art because they never stand the test of time and often only serve to make the speaker (or in this case, the writer) sound like an ass who doesn't understand the ever-shifting ebb and flow of the cultural landscape. Whether it be music, literature, or the visual arts; an attention to and understanding of the effect that any creative endeavor has on the greater society it seeks to influence is far more important than making unfounded declarations of relevance that any given project may or may not posess. With that theory firmly established at the onset of this annotation, I would now like to state for the permanent record that this is the best song ever written. I'm right, and don't even think about arguing with me, fatso. | * | 0:00:00 Pop-up) |

H.P. Zinker | To One in Paradise | Staying Loose | I think I saw H.P. Zinker open for the Fluid at Maxwell's in 1992. Actually, yes! I just remembered that I drove my friend Jon to Manhattan that night and got lost in a neighborhood I would later live in for 5 years. I had never heard of H.P. Zinker at the time, but they won the heavily cynical Sub Pop crowd over with a wildly infectious set and a totally disarming and funny stage presence. They were a bunch of weird looking guys, as I recall, yet they were practically tackled by many of the ladies in attendance after their set -- probably much to the chagrin of the Fluid, who were your more typical Handsome Rock Band Dudes. | 1:09:31 Pop-up) | |
Greg Hetson/Greg Graffin | Runnin' Fast | Desperate Teenage Lovedolls soundtrack | They of Bad Religion and the Circle Jerks, respectively. Or actually, maybe it was the other way around. Oh, who cares. I don't think that either of them were ever in The Mentors, for whatever that's worth. | 1:12:00 Pop-up) | |

Ff | You're Killing Me | Lady Shoe | I should keep my big mouth shut. After I told the entire listenership that Ff's Tom Price was the guy who (literally) kicked the collective asses of greater Manhattan's club owners, who should happen to be listening and email me but Tom's WIFE, who said it was actually his brother who did most of the ass-kicking. For a second there, I was sure that I was a dead man and that Tom would be on his way to the WFMU studios to turn me into gravy, but luckily, she seemed more amused than anything and I might've even wrangled a CD-r of some of Tom's unreleased songs from her to play on the radio. And if it'll keep me out of the hospital, you can bet that I will. | 1:34:12 Pop-up) | |

Chrome Cranks | Julie, Do ya Love Me? | Lost Time Blues EP |
"Julie? Do ya love me?" -- A question that has been puzzling minds even greater than my own for years. Sadly, Julie stepped out a moment ago so I cannot be sure of her answer at this time. For the sake of Steve Martin, appearing here in a rare guest vocal capacity, I would tend to hope that the answer is "Yes. Julie does in fact love you." Dearly. |
