Remember that '80s movie, Valley Girl, that looked ridiculous, but was actually pretty good and had a great soundtrack? Remember the scene when they were in a bar and there was a band playing? Well that band was the Plimsouls, and they released a couple of blissfully Rickenbacker fueled power pop albums. I have this one on vinyl, because, you know, I used to be cool. If you go to that special place, you will Find The Plimsouls' 'Everywhere at Once.' Because I know you're jonesin' for the old schtuff.
Side note, Peter Case is still on the road, and will be in the Carolina contingent's neck of the woods here soon.

Just don't call him "former Plimsoul Peter Case" when you meet him.
Thanks Joe, but you were never cool.
Totally.
I remember these guys (courtesy of a high school friend Rob White who also into'd me to King Crimson, the Smiths, Oingo Boingo, Echo and the Bunnymen, and the Cramps). Can't believe Case is still out there touring!
I still have the first slip of paper that contained a request for the Young Brians that was slipped on to the stage one night during a great gig. It said, "Do you know/can you play Melt With You or a Million Miles Away?" We knew the former, but alas, not the latter.
Ha! What a pair of requests.
The thrill of victory!
The agony of defeat!
