My dumb Smithereens story. . .Saw the Green Thoughts tour at some warehouse dance club in Orlando, standing up front between Pat and Jimmy and on the chorus to House We Used To Live In, Jimmy clearly sang "place where I left my FART" and looked over at Pat with a smirk on his face. Of course nobody else in the band acknowledged his wit so he just shrugged and kept playing.

↳ Song: "chats with efd" by "dennis diken"
Fascinating about the Stranglers influence on TheSmithereens ! Makes total sense.
...When musing about PowerPop & its market fortunes - I have sometimes postulated if it's about the magical amalgamation TheBeatles had of youthful BabyBoom optimism & energy on one hand ...& Working Class Blues on the other hand ...then many PowerPop act don't get this rather rare & difficult balance exactly right ...& to be perfectly candid, have said TheSmithereens are an example of tilting a little too much towards the downbeat tone & themes
...none of which ever stopped me from trying to accumulate everything they'd ever released ! & one regards TheSmithereens as one of the truly classic dedicated U.S. Rawk'n'Roll Bands - like, I dunno, TheFlamin'Groovies...
I did already know there was actually a Sabbath influence :) ...
Everything I hear off this 'Lost Album' sounds like the best of what they do - can't believe it could've been sidelined for any reason for this long !
