Song Of the Day: May 26, 2005
Dave Allman and Mark Johnson may recall that sometime during 1989, there was a Bar None sampler cassette called Time For a Change that was, for about a month, our favorite record. It had Freedy Johnston's "Fun Ride," "King Of Joy" by Bill Drummond, a couple of Rage To Live tracks, and "Living Life" from Kathy MacCarty's (of Austin's Glass Eye) absolutely wonderful Dead Dog's Eyeball: The Songs of Daniel Johnston (which has just been re-issued). Oh, and two Embarrassment tracks ("D'ya want I should fuck somethin'?"). And this little gem by Illinois's Otis Ball (and the Chains). He was discovered by They Might Be Giants (that's them singing on the chorus) and made this one album. He has been heard from since only on samplers and tribute albums, (or in karaoke form) many of which are catalogued here.
Re: the LP title. Doesn't Game Theory have a line in "The Real Shelia" that goes "I'm gonna love you until I do?" Coinicidence...I wonder.

I think it's "I'm gonna phone you, until I do." Also, this blog rules.
Day-yumn Mamster, you're on top of it. I tip my hat, the guys shed big wads of fur.
best,
Jon
