Brilliance in simplicity

"What a tragedy that I can still walk into a record store and find the New Kids On the Block's "Hanging Tough", but this gem and so many others like it (Original Sins "Big Soul", Miracle Workers "Overdose", The Marshmallow Overcoat, The Brood's first LP, "Here AIN'T the Sonics" on Estrus, The Chesterfield Kings, etc. etc.) are out of print and remembered only by nuts like me. Sigh. Good thing I got this while the wax was still hot. Alas, all my records are in Charleston and I'm in Korea, so while I can still vibrate to the awesome "Rock and Roll, "Sixteen Flights Up", and "No Siesta Tonight" on CD (while fellow soldiers stare at me in disdain for NOT sharing their joy for Limp Bizkit and Creed), I can only hum this album in my head. When I get home, my CD burner's gonna break from overuse. "You keep playin'/games you play/ I wish you'd just love me then GO AWAY NOW WWAAARRLRLHGHGGH!!!"
Find this record, today. I mean it! GO!"
