Song Of the Day: August 12, 2005
Don Kriss of Cleveland, Ohio made three 45s on his own Carrot Records imprint, hung out with the Baloney Heads, and co-wrote "Go Joe Charbeneau," the tribute to the Cleveland Indians' famous flameout. And that's just the stuff we know about.

Reminds me of Ray Davis mixed thru The Rutles but mixed indie style, very nice indeed. Hey Jon, do you have The Legendary Knickers 45?
Yeah, maybe that'd be a good one to stick up here soon.

Hey Jon, have you heard the new dB's single? Doesn't qualify as much more than "cute," but I thought people (also: cats) reading this might be interested.

speaking of Joe Charboneau, let me recommend his completely out-of-control biography, Super Joe: The Life & Legend of Joe Charboneau. it's an amazing read. dude was crazy...
Hey Jon,
First time I stumbled upon your site! Great work! I thought I heard a lot, but here's still so much to discover for me....especially the post-1985 stuff that I'm not very well into. Your previous posts will keep me busy for the next couple of weeks, I guess!
I think I first heard "Vanessa" on one of the CD-R's that I got from you a few years ago.
Thanks!

What a lovely, lovely pop song. Very twee, isn't it? Lovely chords and picking.
Great site! Kriss also recorded a song called "Don't Tell Me," a really infectious, Stonesy rocker. I remember writing to him to tell him to tell him how much I liked the song, and he sent me a copy of Vanessa for free. Nice guy.
