A Story as Old as Records

 Finishing out the year that was and wasn't.

A whole lot happened between recovering from COVID to moving to now, but at the same time nothing really happened at all because it was just working through the fucking endless pandemic in the meantime and going nowhere except the grocery store for the most part.

Fuck that noise.
I'm tired.





Guys and Dolls (1996)


Rex Daisy.

A really quite good Pop Rock album by these Big Star acolytes who got signed and then subsequently screwed over by Geffen Records. Not that they'd have known what to do with them especially in a year where "Gangsta Paradise" by Coolio was the top hit for 1995 and TLC and Boyz II Men littered the charts.

You can get the whole predictable and sad rundown in this contemporary Austin Chronicle article

And you can still get brand new copies from Pravda Records via Discogs which I did.

But if you like it you can also add your name to the Change.org Petition for a Rex Daisy Reunion.

Can't hurt.
