Right now I'm really liking "Crediting Men's Hayride"; Frank Allison and the
Odd Sox. The Soviet recording. One thing I'll say for the Melodiya label, they
knew a thing or two about producing a pop song.

Wow. An old friend & coworker of mine, Dave Katz, was bass player
for the Odd Sox when they made their trip to Russia in the waning
days of the Soviet Union. As I recall the story, they traded a
couple of modern microphones for the studio time. Then the tapes
disappeared in Russia for a few years, or something like that.

When Frank finally took posession of the tapes, circa 1995, they were some
format that hardly anyone around here could handle.

My one favorite song of all time: "I can't Explain" -- The Who.
I never tire of that 1:52 burst of energy. If it can't be said in less than
two minutes, it's not worth saying!

Oh, uh... let's see:
"Heavenly Pop Hit" - the Chills (never was a hit, but should have been)
"Northern Lights" - Peter Blegvad
"Yacht Dance" - XTC (kind of a stupid title, but a great song)
"Glass Hotel" - Robyn Hitchcock (I got to see him perform this live on
Saturday night! For the first time! Total thrill...)
"Rain" - The Beatles
"Lay My Love" - Brian Eno and John Cale
"Northern Sky" - Nick Drake
"Ghost" - Neutral Milk Hotel
"Ruby" - The Apples in Stereo (I dare anyone to listen to this without
dancing around foolishly)
"Beestung" or "Your Ghost" - Kristin Hersh
I can't pick just one Elvis Costello song. Anything off "Armed Forces,"
I guess - or "Imperial Bedroom."
