Song Of the Day: May 3, 2005


The Jigsaws-Luggage


Summerville Records 45, 1992

Boston's Jigsaws didn't last long, but they did release 2 45s, the second in a wraparound sleeve with a fake airport tag attatched. That's pretty cool, right? They also turned out Cereal Toy, a solid CD which also includes "Luggage," (Suburban Records, Seattle). The album was distirbuted by TenPop, (remember our friends The Sparrows and the Vandalias?) which should provide some clues as to the band's aesthetic. The singer's world-weary whine contrasts beautifully with the uptempo beat and chorus harmonies, and this one still gets pulled out of the drawer frequently when we have Little Hits Record Night.

I can't believe nobody has commented on these huge hooks! Jon, you've made a new Jigsaws fan..
