this is lovely
It’s a tribute - 60s covers of various iconic Summer of Love songs by the so called Paisley Underground bands (Three O’Clock, Bangles, Rain Parade, Dream Syndicate, etc) back in 1984. Rainy Day mastermind David Roback eventually went on to form Mazzy Star and is the visionary behind this whole concept. I wrote a lengthy feature about the whole Paisley scene for Magnet many moons ago but it still stands up pretty well: https://magnetmagazine.com/2001/05/18/one-nation-underground-the-story-of-the-paisley-underground/

1969 (on steaming as the first part of his American Trilogy collection) Despite the consistent rain and thunder sound effects at the edges of the songs, this thing is sincerely sad. It’s cold morning of the soul type music. With songs like “I Don’t Think Much About Her No More” (ok sure buddy) and lyrics like “yesterdays gone lord, it’s better forgotten/ like the poison red berries to die on the vine”… it makes me smile in a way only some truly despondent music can. Mickey is keeping a close watch on the sky and remains fixated on his solitude, but he’s also whistling a lot, so maybe he’s gonna be ok?

A song for lovers missing their sweetheart. Was recommended to me when I was looking for rainy day music. A friend said this played on the car radio when his father was evacuating New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina. Brought him to tears and it does the same for me!

Feeling v sad today about climate disasters and the vulnerable populations of people they affect the most. This song is always a goldmine of comforting lyrics 🕯️❤️ “Try to see the light of goodness burning down the track” RIP Jason Molina 🫶🏻

tomorrow PI.FYI launches to the public this project is the result of thousands of hours spent coding everything from scratch after I got laid off six months ago no thiel-bucks or weirdo outsider money, just a pure desire to make something fun and true to Perfectly Imperfect’s day one goal of helping people find new things from real human beings, not algorithms or AI a pure labor of love that I’ve been quietly plotting for two years and it’s completely self-funded from my (rapidly) dwindling savings account so thank you for coming along for this weird ride 🫶 let's see where it goes
