Last October from your reference point to be precise. The Nationals just won Game One of the 2019 World Series against the Astros.
I have no idea how the 2020 season will go.
I only hope that my future baseball enjoying self is pleased and made it to a few games in different parks this year.
Maybe we'll get up to an even dozen different parks this year..
Which is a good lead in to this band
The Mendoza Line is the culturally accepted point where being kind of bad at the plate in baseball turns into total shit. Generally when you're hitting below the .200 mark.
The Mendoza Line were a long running band that originated in Athens, GA before schlepping it up to Brooklyn, NY to seek out their fame and fortune.
It didn't quite happen, but 12 years was a good run.
Here's an interview about the dissolution of the band and marriage within the band.
This single is without such drama though. It's their first release on Kindercore (they also contributed to the Kindercore Singles of the Month deal that can be found elsewhere on this blog.)
Listen and remember the good times
See You Again (1997)
The only thing I could find was that My Friend the Atom were based in Fort Worth, Texas.
This is their only recording. A lovely pop jangle with female vocals.
If someone were to task me with organizing a series of reissue compilations of long forgotten but fucking wonderful indiepop, jangle, garage, shoegaze etc... singles of the 90s (ala the Pebbles, Homework and Killed by Death series) "See You Again" would undoubtedly appear on Volume One. It's a pitch perfect example of a time and a genre.
(I simple await the call from Numero Group. I have plenty of good ideas...)
