Song Of the Day: August 23, 2005
Another example of Dan Sarka's (Sparrows.) prowess as a writer and singer. It always seemed to me that the cartoon pop band premise of this band was at odds with the frequently sad nature of the songs, even the ones that sound upbeat. Can you imagine if all of the Archies' songs were about Betty's longing for Archie and the pain of observing his obsession with Veronica? (Betty was the genius behind the Archies, but you probably all knew that.) Best description I have ever heard of the Vandalias, from the Shindig newsgroup a few years back: "The bastard sons of Thin Lizzy and the Partridge Family."

Oh, what a great CD that is. In fact, both Vandalias discs are terrific. Thanks for the post.
Ooh, I actually picked up Mach 5 after you posted that Sparrow track. Hella fun.
