Song Of the Day: March 13, 2005


The Garden Path-Wear Black

The Bob magazine flexi, ca. 1988


Please excuse the sound quality; this file was converted from a nearly twenty-year-old cassette that had been dubbed off of a flexi-disc. The Garden Path were an interesting footnote in the mid-80s explosion of cool Australian bands, a little bit loud guitar pop, a little bit psychedelic, a little bit garage. I'm currently in the process of tracking down their Greasy Pop LPs. If memory serves there was also a spinoff thing by the name of the Dust Collection, but I could be making that up. This song would be on my A-list of tracks for a CD compilation of the best stuff from the Bob flexi-discs, along with R.E.M.'s version of "Femme Fatale," Robyn Hitchcock's "Surgery," and the Feelies' awesome cover of "Dancing Barefoot."
