Hello, partygoers! Well, as the saying goes: better late than never!
We apologize for our tardiness this week. Needless to say, thisngs were really hopping in Stu-Stu-Studio this week! (Please check out Episode 424 of Sneaky Dragon for the whole, crazy, forgetting-your-left-arm story.) Thankfully, Mary stepped up to the plate and provided her own playlist and took the notes this week.
So, grab a comfy chair, and settle down in the Listening Party Rumpus Room to hear:

- Big Star – “Thirteen” – #1 Record, 1972
- Jeffrey Frederick and the Clamtones – “Singing to the Dentist” – Spiders in the Moonlight, 1977
- Elliot Smith – “Baby Britain” – X/O, 1998

Bravo, Mary, Dave and Dave 3000! ‘Robots don’t laugh’ and ‘Chickens can’t whistle’ should definitely be book titles. I”m thinking children’s noir, and if that isn’t a genre, it ought to be.
As a fellow devotee of melancholy and autumn (as we call fall in these parts), I thought this was a fantastic mixtape.
Big Star. Wow. Makes me wanna cry, that one. So great.
