Walk into the Malt Shop, head to the Juke Box, and play these tunes:
* Neil Sedaka – “Breaking Up Is Hard To Do”
* Elvis Presley – “Are You Lonesome Tonight?”
* Little Peggy March – “I Will Follow Him”
* Lesley Gore – “Judy’s Turn To Cry”
* Mickey & Sylvia – “Love Is Strange” – HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
* Ray Peterson – “Tell Laura I Love Her”
* The Shirelles – “Baby It’s You” – PRETTY DAMN SURE WAVVES SAMPLES THIS ON “BASEBALL CARDS”
Back when I was a freshman in high school I became exposed to some pretty good music at work. Well, most people my age (then and now) don’t really dig old skool rock and roll and doo-wop, but any way I dug it quite a bit (and still do). Some songs aren’t as awesome as other ones, but whatever. I saw on TV a few times (no pun intended) TimeLife’s Malt Shop Memories and damn I got to say it’s a beautiful thing. The little videos are great…I can’t say I ever bought the $150 ten CD set. If you want to, though, remember you can do it in easy payments!!!

Boston based shows/fests – DIY, punk, noise
