"international pop overthrow" by Material Issue has been stuck in my head and my car CD player this week. Like Badfinger, another power pop tragedy, with the main guy, Jim Ellison no longer with us. Ellison perfectly captured what it was like to be in your early 20's in the 1990's and the cool chicks running around to break your heart. Of course, songs must be written to manage the daily pain.
"out right now" is definitely of its time. We lonely boys would leave our awkward message on their answering machines. It was worth it to call just to hear her voice! Ah, the memories. Better than a text romance any day of the week. Though I'm an old coot who likes the old jingle jangle.
