Why?
I was late to the party with the Lemonheads.
My little brother had had a tape of Lick when I was still more into metal. He made it to Pavement first as well.
And obviously, you couldn’t help but love Mrs Robinson when it was a hit. But yes. I came late.
I remember the joy of seeking them out on the early file sharing clients – Napster and Limewire would get you the cover versions.
I loved their cover versions. I sent their Different Drum to some people the other week when Mike Nesmith died.
I had my own arrangement on acoustic of their arrangment for Luka.
And Shame About Ray means a great deal to me. (Confetti and Drug Buddy in particular).
And by now, Evan had done Baby I’m Bored, and he’d done his stuff with the Dandy Warhols – both highpoints. So I was very much there.
Do I remember this show? Only that it was rescheduled.
High?
It’s a very real possibility.
Drinking?
You’d have to for the Lemonheads.
Thinking?
Please play Confetti.
