Song Of the Day: April 14, 2005


The Doublehappys-I Don't
Wanna See You Again


From the Flying Nun Records CD Nerves, 1992

Here's the conclusion of the Doublehappys story we've been working toward for the past couple of days. The legend is that Shayne Carter and Wayne Elsey, along with a drum machine known as Herbie Fuckface, formed a new bass-less trio in 1983. The despised drum machine was later replaced by a human named John Collie, but the bass player never materialized. No matter. The Doublehappys made a 45 and an EP before Elsey's untimely death; both of these discs plus a few live tracks from 1983 (originally released on the Avalanche records EP "How Much Time Left, Please") are rounded up on Nerves. "I Don't Want To See You Again" is not Peter and Gordon's pop hit, but typically snotty Doublehappys sentiment that hints at why Shayne Carter always knew he was a rock star.

This site made me get a cable modem and mp3 player, all because of songs like this. It's Little Hits first thing in the morning.
