Nooooooooooooooooooo not mai Feelies
Christ, this was unexpected. Went on TradeMe, bought this:
(if you can't read the text in the picture, that's the album Only Life by The Feelies, only one of my favourite bands, like, ever. Sez Allmusic: Of the countless bands to emerge from the New York City underground during the post-punk era, few if any were as unique and influential as The Feelies; nerdy, nervous, and noisy, even decades later their droning, skittering avant-garde pop remains a key touchstone of the American indie music scene... and so on and so on).
Yay. Yay me.
Record arrived last night. I promptly remove the shrinkwrap* and discover -- to my horror -- than rather than the advertised LP, within is some awful late-80s major-label record by fucking John Hiatt. The tedious, past his use-by date and vastly-overrated John fucking Hiatt.
I feel violated.
* Yes, it was shrinkwrapped, and had presumably been so since it was pressed at the plant sometime in the 80s. Go figure.
...
NP: The Feelies -- Fa Ce La
