Shortly there after I made the 45 minute commute from my 19 years spent struggling in NYC back to the home I grew up in on Long Island.

(The song in the video has a better tempo to it, but the studio recording has it's charms as well)I also got this album from the Dollar Bin. I love Hal Hartley, not only because he's from my neck of the woods but his movies are simple, funny and intelligent. He's got great taste in music as well.More on Hal HartleyThis YouTube video below is my first foray into iMovie editing, not bad...

Cheeky Monkey were another one of those "dollar bin" artists that I loved so much. I mean how can you not love an album comprised of Mike Shelly, a NYC based singer-songwriter, and BMX Bandit/Teenage Fanclub founder Francis MacDonald. (Maybe you can, but I couldn't). The year was 1998 and this album was well worth every cent of that one dollar.

I haven't been all that big into shoegaze going all the way back to "My Bloody Valentine", I actually returned that first disk of theirs to Tower Records three times because I thought there was something wrong with the audio transfer. I remember telling the manager that they must have sent over a bad batch of MBV disks because this is the third one I've returned "The audio sounds all screwed up...

In order to do this they literally take the song away from Alan Ward, they also take his drummer, Roger Jouret, who is thought to be a better looking front man and rename him...
