A music-obsessed, retired San Francisco lawyer, and author of the rock & roll memoir Jittery White Guy Music (available on Amazon)... picking a random album or song in his collection every day or so and sharing a few thoughts.
The Minders' 1998 full-length debut, Hooray For Tuesday, was packed with what sounded like Rubber Soul leftovers, tweaked a bit for a slightly skewed post-XTC indie pop world. While I love the Beatlesque pastiche "Yeah Yeah Yeah," the title track is probably more colorful. Producer Robert Schneider (of fellow Elephant 6 band Apples In Stereo) lays low, the song barely rising above stripped-down lo-fi production, though the little marching band intro and slithery, jangly guitar lines, with a familiar-sounding Kinks-y interlude, make it feel a little more sophisticated than straight pop.Live in the studio, 2016:Elliott Smith live cover, 2003:
