Now there's a name I haven't heard in a while! I have this album on vinyl, but it's in really wretched shape - unplayable, basically. I wonder if it's still in print?

I really loved Peter Case's debut album as well. I never followed him after that, though.

What made you stop listening to music in 1996?

sextonseven said:

Maybe last year of Highschool? My social circle has never been that large since.

Axchi696 said:

Yeah, it's a really solid new-wave-ish power pop album. If you like that song, then I think the rest of the album would be your cuppa tea as well.

lilgish said:

That's too bad. I subscribe to several music magazines so that's how I find out about stuff. As I result, none of my friends are into the bands I like. I almost always go to live shows solo.
