My Top 1000 Songs #898: Hectified

[I've been writing up my Top 1000 songs on a daily basis--you can see them all in descending order by hitting the All My Favorite Songs tag.]

A deep cut off Jason Falkner's (ex-Jellyfish, ex-Three O'Clock) 1996 solo debut, Author Unknown. It's a little too complex for pure power pop, but a little too pop for alternative radio. Catchy as all hell but with some tricks along the way, some clever gestures to show off his guitar acumen. Still no idea what the word "hectified" means, but nearly thirty years later I still occasionally look at some random mess and think to myself, that looks so hectified.
