Notes:

Wire's "Mercy" is an outstanding epic song. We decided to play this one because we misplaced our cd of it -- and we found a copy of Chairs Missing on LP the day previous for a very reasonable deal. Both 'Chairs Missing' and 'Pink Flag' are classic records that should not be slept on. Dare I say they singlehandedly influenced a mix of genres?
--Free Design "Kites are Fun"--- I was out flying a kite with my neice at a nearby park on one of those beautiful, breezy days we had. Sadly, She was not the one flying the kite -- I was. I had a lot of fun with her Snow White kite. It had a long, pink tail on it. Where was my neice in all of this? She was running around, looking at ducks and jumping on a slide, trying to grab some boys attention.
Well, I had fun anyways.
--- Pointed Sticks "Just a guy out of Luck" -- This Canadian punk/power-pop band that sounds like The Dickies --the band performed this song in the highly disturbing Dennis Hopper film "Out of the Blue" . If it wasn't for this band being featured in the movie, I would have had nightmares for days instead of just one night.
-- Esquerita -- the man who Little Richard stole his motif from. This 45 was reissued by Norton.
-- Wendy & Bonnie -- Two teenage sisters (they were the "Flower sisters" -- no lie) from San Francisco who had help from studio musicians. Their career didn't last too long, sadly. The label this came out on (Skye, which was put together by Cal Tjader and some other musicans/record industry people -- failed. And then one of their backing musicians mysteriously died while drunk at a barstool. This lp is reccomended if you like Free Design, Stereolab, Edith Frost, Rebecca Gates even??? Excellent songwriting for such young lads. In our "American Idol" world , their kind of creativity would never be pushed. Truly a artifact of the 60s.)
