Song of the Day: January 10, 2005
Medium Cool Records 12" single, 1988
Sometimes I'll find a song I really love, and then never bother to check out anything else the artist might have done. I can't say why this is, but it is certainly the case with the Corn Dollies, as I know nothing about them, despite a fairly large discography (check it out at Twee Net). What I do know is that this particular single still sends me...the backing is fairly standard C86 indiepop, but the singer's voice and the snapshots provided in the lyric suggest that something painful and indelible is being dealt with.

nice...
Totally agree. Great record, produced by Robert Forster of the Go-Betweens, if I remember correctly.
The Dollies' produced an number of enchanting singles after this debut, including 'Be Small Again' and 'Shake', and an album of singles and b-sides that was only released in France on the Midnight label. Well worth checking out....
Stella-
Thanks. I'll get right on tracking these down.
best,
Jon
