"Lullaby for the Working Class
Spare, mellow, almost ambient alt-country band from the late 90s.
I'm almost embarrassed that I'm only discovering them now.
Unbelievably great.
Some loose personnel associations with Bright Eyes.

Just about every track from this album would qualify:
But I'll go with this gem:

Despite its hit status, one of the nastiest "so long" songs ever IMHO--and directed to a current band member. Ouch.

For some reason the words to this song suddenly came to me this morning. This was one of my favorite bar bands when I was attending LSU in 1991-92. The album was actually just a self-released cassette. Not sure why it was never reissued once Better Than Ezra signed to Elektra-- I guess it sounded too much like 1986. If you like Southern, jangle-pop, à la R.E.M. or the Connells or Guadalcanal Diary or any of a million other bands roaming the bars south of the Mason Dixon line in the late 80s, then you will love this one:

Just uploaded another one of my wife's old songs, and thought it would fit nicely in this thread. This is the track that was featured on the Darla Records compilation back in 1996 and features John Davis of Superdrag doing everything but the singing. "SPF-100":

My wife just told me this little nugget about "SPF-100": When they sent it in to Darla, the guy asked how many girls were in the band and were they cute?

He PERFORMED with the remaining Monkees, something I swear he said he would never do again after the '80s. It is baffling. As for the meeting, he was so gracious and answered…"

So Mike Nesmith. Yeah. WTF, right? Private, reclusive, mysterious for many years. A couple of years back, he got on Facebook and he posts long, winding tales about himself, his dogs, his home, his past, and a really lovely Mother's Day post last weekend. Photos go up. The whole thing. It's like he disappeared and then came back on his own terms. I didn't know how to take it. I'm a huge Monkees fan, no doubt. And, being a woman/girl of a certain age, I have a favorite and that favorite is Mike.…See More
