Song Of the Day: October 29, 2005
As a bunch of you know, this was the first record by Kendra Smith and David Roback (Dream Syndicate and Rain Parade respectively) who would eventually become Opal. (This track appears on the Opal Early Recordings LP.) It's possible that neither Roback nor Smith have topped this particularly haunting goth-pop-psych since. We love its loping groove and consider it perhaps Smith's best vocal performance. There was a nice, much perkier cover by the Pale Saints on one of their LPs.

It's amazing that this was left off Children of Nuggets. Perhaps one of the best American singles of the '80s.
Jon-
Seems this particular song/posting is not accessible.
Can you check into it for me/us?
Thanks.
Hmm, yeah, it looks like the "link" isn't a link at all--it's just colored and resized to look like one. Uh oh!
All better now....and just in time, the sugarcube has dissolved.
Please post more off of the Early Recordings LP.
Wow. Not my cup of tea, normally, but those are FANTASTIC DRUMS.
Yes, any chance of any more tunes off of Early Recordings? I'd sorely like to own it . . . but it's currently going for $30 on eBay.
