I actually reached out to Dave Steinhart after I personally "discovered" Pop Art (in 1999 or so) and he has been good enough to allow me to be a FB friend of his since.<br /><br />wish I could find a site that had the lyrics to Cover Me. they seem to be elusive.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17705452583339913430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6776777782419637264.post-59373042400160075492012-08-08T10:59:37.187-07:002012-08-08T10:59:37.187-07:00Yeah, that "Jangly Mess" comp which at o...Yeah, that "Jangly Mess" comp which at one time (pre-blog days) I thought I could put on one CD has now, thanks in very large part to this site, become more a mythic quest than a reality. If for no other reason than I know that others who have more energy, more recordings, and more dedication will beat me to it and all I've have to do is d/l and enjoy!<br /><br />Acebglobe313https://www.blogger.com/profile/00308428545934319473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6776777782419637264.post-43682199347726761352012-08-07T20:40:41.776-07:002012-08-07T20:40:41.776-07:00Glad you're enjoying this as much as I am.

Not that I'm giving you any ideas or anything...spavidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00986537771229635843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6776777782419637264.post-18143585398461362832012-08-07T13:57:23.761-07:002012-08-07T13:57:23.761-07:00Agreed with the earlier poster, the first song &qu...Agreed with the earlier poster, the first song "Cover Me" is great! Classic example of that jangly "REM sound" that was everywhere for awhile.<br /><br />I get diminishing returns as I move through the EP, but even more so than in the usual case I would say that's a matter of taste and how one personally reacts to the stylistic decisions that the band and especially the singer make. In other words, if you said this was one of your favorite bands, I wouldn't think you were an idiot.<br /><br />Reading your (spavid's) intro I realized that I had sampled the band before on PVAC. Can't remember what it sounded like, only a vague sense that it did not live up to the name of Pop Art!<br /><br />Thanks, as usual. Another one to add to my "Another Jangly Mess" compilation.<br /><br />Ace K.bglobe313https://www.blogger.com/profile/00308428545934319473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6776777782419637264.post-27093374189652022022012-08-05T22:33:27.729-07:002012-08-05T22:33:27.729-07:00"Cover Me" is a masterpiece.
