Disc 19 / 48

This sure is an upbeat disc for all the negativity in it--pretty heavy on the doo wop and British Invasion, which are two genres that have lots of uptempo tracks to pick from. I like the paradox--bouncy upbeat songs with negative language. Sort of like how the lyrics to "Have I the Right" by the Honeycombs (possibly the single best pop song ever recorded) look like a suicide note if you read them without the music.

My friend Dennis Leise is one of the Possum Hollow Boys; I only get to see him once a year at B Fest, since he's smart enough to live in Chicago and I'm not. They're quite good, and they have an album on iTunes. I like being able to plug my friends' bands. Unfortunately the superlative pop-punk group Grover Kent doesn't have an iTunes presence, so I will just give you a couple album / EP titles for you to enjoy:  "Me, Myself and Your Mother" and "Selling Doors, Door to Door".
