Not Sure About This One Either


It's really good though.



Billy's Review (1982)

So this is a slightly harder one to categorize. It's not really a compilation. It's more or less what it purports to be. It's a producer type Billy Bacon getting together some friends in other local bands like the Flies, the Maps & La Peste to make a record in various combinations. (And yes, I do have those records too and an intent to post them. Thanks for asking.)

While there's some really fun and quirky pop & garage music to be had, the key track for me is "Louder" which is for all intents and purposes a Maps track and likely the only song you'll ever hear that uses the word "ichthyologist.

It's an enjoyable side note to a lot of the really interesting stuff that was going on in Boston at the time had no idea at the time existed. (and probably would have hated anyway.)
