For once, something not inspired by somebody’s death, or a 40-year old memory of mine.
This is something I came across last week. I’m the occasional sucker for a well-played piece of pop fluff, and The Rebel Light’s “Strangers” fits the bill nicely. In fact, I can’t get the damned thing out of my head. So maybe it’ll stick in yours, too.
Very California, no?

Great song, sad little video though…man!
This is the catchiest thing I’ve heard almost ever: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOTXM5obLcA
Thad Cockrell’s solo stuff is terrific, too.

For sure. But I’ll be honest, even though the “[n]ew single ‘Strangers’ was recorded at home, with the vocals being laid down in the bathroom and the drum parts recorded in a woodshed” was sounding pretty good, I thought it could have used a little more L.A. Woman cowbell

Talk about some ear candy. Great sixties California sound.

I hear a little Apples in Stereo and Peter Bjorn and John (Young Folks, for instance) in there, in a good way. Thanks for sharing Senator – good stuff!

Reminds me of Indie Cindy by the Pixies, a little, but not as awesome.
