Song Of the Day: August 1, 2005


Sister Ray, without any obvious Velvet Underground influence other than their moniker, created a bit of hipster buzz in the mid 80s following a run of small press 45s, most on their own Sad label. Unfortunately, their LPs ended up being on that Resonance Records label from (I think) the Netherlands . You guys remember that? The albums all sort of had the same look with the artist's name and title in a band across the top, and they had all of these mediocre bands like Senator Flux and The Baby Flies. Those things always ended up in the discount bin. For what it's worth though, the Sister Ray ones are pretty good, although I don't think they ever topped this single.

Fantastic! Prior to this, my favorite thing of theirs was the "Psycho Sis" 45 on Ajax, but this beats its pants off. Thanks!
