I was blasting this in the car on the way to school, and it reminded me that it really needs to be on Little Hits. In another instance of horrible timing, this brilliant 45 came out during the period when there was an absolute glut of 7-inch discs by bands wanting to be the next Pavement or Stereolab (both great bands, but one of each is probably enough) or Sebadoh or Slint (one of each is about 50% too many). Perhaps that's why it was unceremoniously dumped at the used record shop by the kid from the college radio station. This would be a terrific record just on the strength of it's melody and chorus hook. What really pushes it over the top are some very finely wrought lyrics with considerable humor and admirable attention to detail.

"My Danger" was written by one Tom Beaujour; I don't know much about him, but I can divulge that his bass-playing/singing/songwriting comrade, Mr. Marcelo Romero, spent some time in the Wishniaks. But that is a story we will tell later. Shake Appeal also have a full-length CD on Go-Kart called You're Too Rich. Meanwhile, copies of this very single are available on the Deep Elm website for a buck. Think I'm gonna order another handful.
