Chrindie ‘95

A distrust and rebellion against the self (played by your brother’s band, only better)

I doubt Luxury expected to be releasing their fifth album this year, 20 years after Amazing and Thank You.

“When You Feel Miserable,” “You’re Mean,” “Messed Up Over You,” “When You Feel the Mess.” Not the most uplifting material.

I was fortunate to see Hoi Polloi and Fleming & John on the same night in a Vanderbilt University student union basement in January 1995.

Vigilantes of Love (Capricorn Records)

A classic Christmas comp.

Damn. I had never heard anyone say or write anything like that in the first 18 years of my life.
