We Buffistas are a well-connected lot.
Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
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.
Saw Hamilton for my birthday - it's pretty damn wonderful.

David, are you allowed to do another 33 ⅓ book? Have you considered pitching Bad Music for Bad People? Because duh,
Why are they not the most famous rock couple ever?
They are to me!

No.
But I don't think they've done a Cramps album yet.
So, how popular was Off Broadway outside of the Chicago area? A friend of mine was surprised I'd heard a lot of their songs growing up in Wisconsin.
Their album On is full of great pop songs.

They did have a track on Rhino's Power Pop compilation, but basically they're only known to power pop nerds.
Gutterdämmerung trailer. Looks quite silly.
Off Broadway did "Stay in Time," correct? I remember that song from about the time I graduated high school, but I don't remember hearing anything else from them.
But my part of Wisconsin was well within the range of Chicago AM (John Records Landeker, anyone?) and Rockford FM stations. So I had at least some exposure to bands like Cheap Trick and REO Speedwagon before they broke nationwide.
Off Broadway did "Stay in Time," correct?
Yes. I love that song and hadn't heard it for 35 years or so.
eta: "Full Moon Turn My Head Around" is from the same album and is also great.
I remember not caring for it at the time. But that was early in my Adult Contemporary/Big Band period, which was also the period of my reaction against things Midwestern. I might react very differently if I heard it again today.
