Originally recorded August 13, 2023.

This album has the spirit of punk without being a truly punk album. It has the melodic sensibilities of pop without being necessarily pop. And it has the edginess of rock without sounding much like any rock album released at the time. The main man ditched his California band for a younger, neurotic sound completely his own. And the theater kids are here for it. So let's talk Elvis Costello & The Attractions' "This Year's Model"!

Also here's my YouTube Poop of "Pump It Up" that I mentioned:
