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.
How about a second selection from the slim catalog of New Zealand indie act Look Blue Go Purple? "I Don't Want You Anyway" (from 1988's This Is This EP) is a lo-fi jangly delight, the women of LBGP delivering a charming break-up song that still makes you feel all warm inside. The bassline that opens the tune kinda reminds me of Mission of Burma's "That's When I Reach For My Revolver," and maybe there's some subconscious connection, the jangle-pop cousin with its own bitter streak.Live 1996:Pretty faithful cover from the Golden Grrrls, 2012:Cover from fellow Flying Nun stalwarts The Bats:
