The Distance is So Big by Lemuria
Wait by Mikal Cronin
Dirty 5 Thirty Boys? No links to that genius work? Sounds like Jonah in the second verse, is this an inside joke that I am on the outside of?
The Lemuria song is called Brilliant Dancer off of the album The Distance is so Big
I really liked the music on this episode! I’ve been digging the Mikal Cronin and Kurt Vile albums.
I was thinking of the Yardbirds!
Also, thanks for fact checking instead of enjoying everybody!
Feel like some factoids?
The internet is full of incorrect statements concerning ACME and its origins (including statements by non-historians at WB and on Wikipedia, suggesting the word originates in 1920’s Yellow Pages). It is, and has been for several centuries, a common name for a brand (like Acme Motors est. 1892), because it suggests “the best” (from a greek word for the highest point in a performance area).
The guitarrist of Great White did die in the fire tragedy.
The Byrds are from LA and David Crosby is still alive
