Yet another virtual unknown, though in fairness I presented you with an earlier
Dimestore Darlings tape in 2012. That cartridge, 1994's
What is My... was actually more impressive than I originally le
t on, brimming with a bouquet of Minneapolis inspirations (Replacements, etc) conveyed with a warm, mid-fi aptitude. Two years later another DD cassette entered the marketplace,
Senior Ball: Spirit of '96. Still lovingly rough-hewn and riff heavy as all-get-out, some of the quartet's grit was sanded down a notch here, albeit barely worth mentioning. Fans of the Figgs, Libertines (US) and Finger would do well to investigate these lads, who by the way were fronted by
Justin Kirk who later played a role in everyone's favorite 420-friendly TV serial,
Weeds.

I know nothing about Dimestore Darlings except I've had six songs of theirs on my computer for years, four of them credited to Justin Kirk. Only two of them match up with these. If you'd like them, just let me know; they could be rare or completely run of the mill.
Thanks Todd. Would be totally up for hearing those songs.
Hey guys-glad you like the stuff-here's the complete source for our old songs-I'm the bass player.
