Song Of the Day: June 24, 2005


The Bird Nest Roys - Jaffa Boy


Flying Nun Records 45, 1986


A beautiful, stunning fiesta of swirliness from the very necessary only LP by the Bird Nest Roys, which is not only one of the best looking LPs on the label, but one of the most under-appreciated. The flipside, which doesn't appear anywhere else to my knowledge, is a similarly thickly strummed version of the Hollies' "Bus Stop."

Hey, post the Hollies cover! I love that song. And when are you going to post some Invisible Order? I know you must have it.

I meant to comment on this earlier. A handful of years ago, you guys at the shop stumbled upon what I took to be dead stock copies of this LP. You recommended it to me and thankfuly I took your advice. Thanks (yet again)!
