That sounds like it, Hec. During summers in college, I listened quite a bit to a Chicago AM station (WCFL) that relied heavily on the '60s local garage bands (and also played songs like "Double Dutch Bus" -- how's that for format-bending?). And just before WLS went all-talk, they had a Sunday morning oldies program that had some of the same slant.
Sunshine Days looks like a delight -- I'm familiar with about half of the tracks. And Cub Koda wrote the review (yes, I bought the 45 of Brownsville Station's "Smokin' in the Boys' Room" way back when)....

He wrote a lot for AMG and Goldmine and record collectors mags like that.
"Double Dutch Bus"
How can a bus jump rope? (Or maybe it's like the 800 lb. gorilla. "How does a bus jump rope?" "Any way it wants to.")
It was a semi-novelty rap from the early '80s, Joe. And the story gets better. Missy Elliott sampled it not long ago for -- was it "Hot Boys"?
They're a part of the Elephant 6 collective that included bands like Apples In Stereo, Neutral Milk Hotel and the Olivia Tremor Control.
Also, Of Montreal. Of Montreal is awesome.
So...home with Emmett and his sore neck.
I'm going to try and catch up on some of the mixes I've promised.
Rudy's Rockin' Caravan for Dr. Tepper and Hayden.
Some jazz vocals and swing for erinaceous and also Anne W.
tina? What's your pleasure treasure? I think I'll definitely throw in a few of the Raydio Schmaydio tapes for you along with some burns. Those are very eclectic.
If you have QuickTime 6, and DSL or faster connection, Wilco has their new album up on their site for any and all who would like to hear it. Except me, who with her dial up, can't.

Hec! My computer is moving like molasses due to the above link (I'm giving up - it *really* doesn't work with dial up) so I didn't see your post.
I'm sure I'll love anything you send - the Raydio Schmaydio tapes would be well loved by me, I'm sure - and here is a secret confession for you:
I've never really heard the New York Dolls.
Hec! I'm sorry Emmett is neck-sore, but I'm glad you're home and burning CDs!
Don't worry tina, I'll take care of that omission in your experience.
erinaceous, I think you'll be getting the inaugural CD burn editions of Crazy Beans and Jazz Kick and Hepcat Jive.
