Jingly Jangly Joy with the Lemonheads – It’s a Shame About Ray
14 May
I was in college when this record came out and played it to death. It’s one of those super-short perfect rock albums. Evan Dando and whoever was playing with him at the time were on the cusp of becoming superstars … it never quite happenend, but at least he put out this masterpiece. Juliana Hatfield plays and sings on most of the tracks which is probably what takes this from being a good record to a great record. Tons of good tracks “It’s a Shame About Ray”, “Confetti”, “Allison’s Starting to Happen”, “My Drug Buddy”, “Kitchen” as well as the Simon and Garfunkel cover Mrs. Robinson (which I can take or leave). Must own record.
