Jayne ,'The Message'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
Jesse, I have to kill you now for that earworm.
Come on now! That's the best earworm EVAR.
You evil evil woman.
Though now my earworm, courtesy of the deli in my building, is that Mariah Carey Christmas song (which I shamefacedly admit I *adore*, though I'm still not ready for Christmas music yet).

They bring a whole lot of jangle. I saw them on that tour in Boston. I stood in line at a record store where they were signing things. I didn't want an autograph, but gave them a copy of Love and Rockets #4. They were pleased.
I did a jangly mix not too long ago. I strayed from perfect jangulation (the first two cuts in particular), but hit a lot of the key Rickenbacker notes:

When I think jangle, I think Phoenix in the early 90s, specifically Gin Blossoms.
