Does any of this mean anything to anyone else? Surely, there must be some kindred, middle-aged souls out there that are just as frustrated as I am:
The Jam
Boomtown Rats
Aztec Camera
Plimsouls
Lou Reed/Velvets
Kinks
Psychedelic Furs
Juliana Hatfield/Blake Babies
Jonathan Richman
10cc
Del Fuegos
Del Lords
Alex Chilton
Kaiser Chiefs
XTC
Fountains of Wayne
Game Theory/Loud Family
Let's Active
. . .and so on (if you don't get it by now, you probably won't)...
Bonus Question: Let It Be vs. Let It Bleed -- who ya got?
I'm willing to warble or play bass...have gear, need practice space and committed co-conspirators...ars gratia artis! Give me a shout if you're remotely intrigued...
