- From The Lemonheads seminal album 'It's A Shame About Ray' now reissued for it's 30th Anniversary. Order/Listen here: fire-records.l...
The reissue includes a slew of extra material, including an unreleased ‘My Drug Buddy’ KCRW session track from 1992 featuring Juliana Hatfield, B-sides from singles ‘It’s A Shame About Ray’ and ‘Confetti’, a track from the ‘Mrs. Robinson/Being Round’ EP, alongside demos that will be released for the first time on vinyl. This reissue celebrates their prestigious fifth album, these deluxe bookback editions feature new liner notes and unseen photos.
Described by music journalist and author Everett True as “A 30-minute insight into what it’s like to live hard and fast and loose and happy with like-minded buddies, fuelled by a shared love for similar bands and drugs and booze and freedom.”. ‘It’s A Shame About Ray’ had a considerable impact back in those heady, carefree days of ’92, the record perfectly captures Dando’s ability to effortlessly encapsulate teenage longing and lust over the course of a two-minute pop song.
Singles such as ‘My Drug Buddy’ and the breezy perfect pop of the title track might stand out (plus the add-on of ‘Mrs. Robinson’ which later copies included), but the album’s real strength lies in the tracks in-between; the truly fantastic ‘Confetti’ (written about Evan’s parents’ divorce), and the eye-wateringly casual acoustic cover of ‘Frank Mills’ (from the “hippie” musical Hair), a version that seems to resonate with every ounce of pathos and emotion felt for the lost 1960s generation. To hear Evan Dando sing lines like ‘I love him/but it embarrasses me/To walk down the street with him/He lives in Brooklyn somewhere/And he wears his white crash helmet’ is to truly appreciate how wonderful and tantalising pop music can be. Then, there’s the rush of insurgency and brattishness on the wonderfully truncated ‘Bit Part’; the topsy-turvy ‘Ceiling Fan In My Spoon’… this was male teenage skinny-tie pop music on a level of brilliance.

Yup. This is how it felt in the early 90's.
MASTERPIECE
Damn skippy. My honest(pop) love song out there.
Evan was so cool man
Sadly was.
If this song is released in 1998 it's a massive hit. It happens about six years too early. In 1998 Matchbox 20 is getting massive radio airplay, in a couple years Three Doors Down is about to happen for better or worse, the world is ready for power pop and wants to kind of take a break from self-loathing grunge rock. (not knocking it, love a lot of that stuff too) - I've always felt like this was the perfect radio power pop song, something that should have been massive but just came out at a time that power pop just wasn't the in thing. If this hits the right TV show or movie, kind of like Stranger Things and Kate Bush, I believe this song could find a huge audience, it's the perfect hook laden up tempo pop rock song that has a simple universally relatable topic. Maybe Confetti can find its way to an episode of "The Bear" or something, this song deserves a second life.
The original and only grunge/indie band that should have been huge
They belong to us this way.
such great songwriting
Eu amo esse som. Uma das bandas mais legais dos anos noventa.
..love the bass
Bons tempos de gás total na mtv!
The early nineties.
Evan wrote this for his parents. They divorced obviously and this is Evan’s point of view on his parent’s relationship.
That's amazing. Where did you hear this from? That really adds a lot of layers to a song that already means a lot to me.
@@williamharris2008Yeah, I read the same thing in an interview back in the day.
👂🏽 🎶
Funny they did record it obviously in Berlin....
The Smithereens and Goo Goo Dolls
She talks to her apple watch
Spy microphone like the secret service. My generation gap friend.
:)
Great song but what's up with the silly chick with the camera?
They're in Berlin in the early 90's. Go read a history book.
lol yeah she’s what we call now “Extra”
