With his encyclopedic knowledge of music and boundless curiosity for new sounds, Hosono has put his unmistakable stamp on hundreds of recordings as a session player, producer, and auteur of his own idiosyncratic musical world. Born and raised in central Tokyo, his adolescent obsession with American pop culture informed his early forays into country music, which he would revisit later in his career. Hosono made his professional debut in 1969 as a member of Apryl Fool, whose heavy psychedelia was somewhat at odds with his influences, which leaned towards the rootsy sounds of Moby Grape and Buffalo Springfield. The latter was one of the main inspirations for his next group, Happy End, whose unique blend of West Coast sounds with Japanese lyrics proved to be highly influential over the course of three albums. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter Happy End’s amicable break up in 1973, Hosono released \u003ci\u003eHosono House\u003c\/i\u003e, an intimate slice of Japanese Americana recorded at home with a back-to-basics approach akin to Music from Big Pink or McCartney. While his former band helped pave the way for the rise of “city pop” that reflected upon urban themes and city life, Hosono took a 180 degree turn towards the countryside for his highly-regarded first solo album. Located an hour from Tokyo in Sayama, Saitama Prefecture, the actual Hosono House was one of several American-style houses originally built for the families of troops stationed at the nearby Johnson Air Base, active during the post-war occupation years. By the early ‘70s this small community had become a hub for creative types looking for a break from Tokyo’s hustle and bustle – and cheaper rent. For Hosono, this was as close as he could get to living in America without leaving his home country. With rooms filled to the edges with recording gear, the house became a live-in studio for Hosono and his crack band – soon to become known as the in-demand session group Tin Pan Alley. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe songs on \u003ci\u003eHosono House\u003c\/i\u003e display the breadth of Hosono’s talents, from the hushed acoustic folk of \u003ci\u003eRock-A-Bye My Baby\u003c\/i\u003e and the country twang of\u003ci\u003e Boku Wa Chotto\u003c\/i\u003e to the New Orleans funk of\u003ci\u003e Fuyu Koe\u003c\/i\u003e and the unexpected breakbeats in \u003ci\u003eBara To Yajuu\u003c\/i\u003e. Lauded by artists such as Jim O’Rourke and Devendra Banhart, Hosono House remains a touchstone of the early phase of Hosono’s career. Hosono’s solo career would take many twists and turns from this point forward, with forays into exotica, electronic, ambient, and techno, culminating in the massive success of techno pop group Yellow Magic Orchestra (YMO), who made their debut in 1978. Admired by artists ranging from Van Dyke Parks to Mac DeMarco, Hosono continues to forge ahead as he heads into his fifth decade as a musician.

It featured Jonathan Richman and bassist Ernie Brooks with drummer David Robinson (later of The Cars) and keyboardist Jerry Harrison (later of Talking Heads). The sound of the band owed a great deal to the influence of The Velvet Underground, and is now considered one of the leading bands of the “proto-punk” scene. It pointed the way towards much of the Punk, New Wave and Indie rock music of later decades. The 9 tracks found here (with the exception of \"A Plea For Tenderness\" recorded in 1973), were recorded live at Harvard University in the summer of 1971, while the band was still in its infant stages (having formed barely a year earlier in September 1970). Their first studio recording, a demo for Warner Bros, would not be made until that fall and their live Longbranch set wouldn’t be recorded until April of 1972. It is also one of the only existing recordings to feature second guitarist John Felice, Richmans childhood friend (and the first official member of the Modern Lovers), who left the band before the recording of their first album.

Leonard Sanders reported having a spiritual encounter in his sleep while in Visalia; the next day he recorded his part of the album's title track in a single take.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the LP was pressed, the group took their music on tour, first in California, where they played with acts including the Gospel Keynotes, The Jackson Southernaires, and the Mighty Clouds of Joy, and then on an ill-fated trip to Texas. A follow-up album was planned for 1981, but it never materialized; having slept sometimes a dozen to a room in Texas, the men in the band were reluctant to leave jobs, wives, and kids for the hardship of the road. The group simply fizzled out, even if the friendships never did.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA copy of the album sold to a fan on that Texan tour made its way to a San Antonio record store, where it was discovered nearly three decades later by collector David Haffner (Friends of Sound). He managed to track down the Kingsby-Sanders clan at a Fourth Of July barbeque in Fresno in 2004. And he eventually introduced the group to Light In The Attic Records, which now presents the album, restored, remastered, and available to the public for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Light in the Attic","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50406061441355,"sku":"384197","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50406062326091,"sku":"384196","price":5.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"LP","offer_id":50406063079755,"sku":"2029662","price":38.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Itll_All_Be_Over_c50e94a6_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726583159"},{"product_id":"once-i-was-once-i-was","title":"Once I Was \/ Once I Was","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe latest installment of Light in the Attic’s exclusive vinyl singles series features musician, poet, and author Leslie Winer collaborating with Manchester-born composer Maxwell Sterling on a truly gorgeous cover of Tim Buckley’s 1967 forlorn love song \u003ci\u003eOnce I Was\u003c\/i\u003e.

Brazen, sassy, and utterly infectious, it was a reintroduction of sorts for the eldest daughter of Frank Sinatra, who had been struggling to find a spotlight of her own amid a changing musical landscape. Suddenly, audiences who had initially brushed off Sinatra as too demure or out-of-touch were paying attention. Written and produced by Oklahoma-born songsmith Lee Hazlewood (with swaggering instrumentals, courtesy of Billy Strange and The Wrecking Crew), the song launched the singer’s career, as well as one of music’s most unlikely, yet compelling, creative partnerships. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOver the next decade, Sinatra continued to notch multiple hits on both sides of the Atlantic, including “Sugar Town,” “How Does That Grab You, Darlin?,” and a haunting rendition of the Sonny Bono-penned “Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down).” The singer also paired up with Hazlewood for a series of popular duets (“Summer Wine,” “Jackson,” and “Some Velvet Morning”) and collaborative albums. In between best-selling LPs like Boots (1966), How Does That Grab You (1966), and Nancy and Lee (1968), Sinatra performed the theme song to the 1967 James Bond film, You Only Live Twice, and collaborated with her father on the global chart-topper, “Somethin’ Stupid.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmong the highlights is the spritely opener “The City Never Sleeps at Night,” which served as the B-Side to “These Boots Were Made for Walkin’.” Overshadowed by the colossal success of its A-side, it’s no surprise that the cinematic tune never had its proper due. Yet, Lea reveals, Hazlewood initially intended to make it the focus single. Another long-lost B-side is “The Last of the Secret Agents?,” which was paired with the Top 10 hit, “How Does That Grab You, Darlin’?” The playful song, written by Hazlewood, served as the theme to the 1966 comedy of the same name, in which Sinatra co-starred alongside Marty Allen and Steve Rossi. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eKeep Walkin’\u003c\/i\u003e also features several choice A-sides that were never included on albums and were overlooked for one reason or another. Among them is 1966’s “In Our Time,” a rebellious anthem for ‘60s youth, which references drug culture and women’s liberation, among other topics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe collection also features several outstanding covers, including a previously-unreleased rendition of the Barry Mann \/ Cynthia Weil classic, “I Just Can’t Help Believing” (a hit for both B.J. Thomas and Elvis Presley). This 1978 recording, reimagined as a duet, marked one of Sinatra’s brief reunions with Hazlewood, following his abrupt move to Sweden not long after 1972’s Nancy and Lee Again. Another choice track finds Nancy interpreting Neil Diamond’s “Glory Road.” Released as a single in 1971, it features one of the singer’s most cherished vocal performances. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Light in the Attic","offers":[{"title":"Yellow LP","offer_id":50406196838731,"sku":"2052827","price":54.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50406193561931,"sku":"2052821","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"LP","offer_id":50406194577739,"sku":"2052826","price":47.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Keep_Walkin_Singles_Demos__Rarities_1965-1978_51dba45c_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726584390"},{"product_id":"pacific-breeze-volume-3-japanese-city-pop-aor-and-boogie-1975-1987","title":"Pacific Breeze Volume 3: Japanese City Pop, AOR and Boogie 1975-1987","description":"\u003cp\u003eLight in the Attic’s Pacific Breeze series has supplied the world’s growing legions of Japanese music fans\nwith an expertly curated selection of the most sought-after City Pop recordings—the mesmerizing and\nnebulous genre of Japanese bubble-era music of the ‘70s-’80s that encompasses AOR, R\u0026amp;B, jazz fusion,\nfunk, boogie and disco.

An exclusive new interview with Sly Stone himself. In-depth liner notes with first-hand reminiscences of the Stone Flower era from many of the participants. Features all five Stone Flower produced singles plus ten previously unissued cuts from the label archives. All tracks newly remastered from the original tapes. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 1970, The Family Stone were at the peak of their popularity, but the maestro Sly Stone had already moved his head to a completely different space. The first evidence of Sly's musical about-turn was revealed by the small catalog of his new label, Stone Flower: a pioneering, peculiar, minimal electro-funk sound that unfolded over just four seven-inch singles. Stone Flower's releases were credited to their individual artists, but each had Sly's design and musicianship stamped into the grooves-and the words \"Written by Sylvester Stewart \/ Produced and arranged by Sly Stone\" on the sticker. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet up by Stone's manager David Kapralik with distribution by Atlantic Records, Stone Flower was, predictably, a family affair: the first release was by Little Sister, fronted by Stone's little sister Vaetta Stewart. It was short lived too-the imprint folded in 1971-but its influence was longer lasting. The sound Stone formulated while working on Stone Flower's output would shape the next phase in his own career as a recording artist: it was here he began experimenting with the brand new Maestro Rhythm King drum machine. In conjunction with languid, effected organ and guitar sounds and a distinctly lo-fi soundscape, Sly's productions for Stone Flower would inform the basis of his masterwork \u003ci\u003eThere's A Riot Goin' On\u003c\/i\u003e. The first 45 came in February 1970: Little Sister's dancefloor-ready 'You're The One' hit Number 22 in the charts-the label's highest showing. The follow-up, 'Stanga,' also by Little Sister, made the wah pedal the star. The third release came from 6IX, a six-piece multi-racial rock group whose sole release, a super-slow version of The Family Stone's 'Dynamite,' featured only the lead singer and harmonica player from the group. Joe Hicks was the final Stone Flower stablemate; his pulsing, electronic 'Life And Death In G\u0026amp;A' is one of the bleakest moments Sly Stone ever created on disc (Hicks' prior single for Scepter, 'Home Sweet Home,' the first released Stone Flower production, is also included). This long overdue compilation of Sly's Stone Flower era gathers each side of the five 45s plus ten previously unissued cuts from the label archives, all newly remastered from the original tapes. In these grooves you'll find the missing link between the rocky, soulful Sly Stone of Stand! and the dark, drum machine-punctuated, overdubbed sound of 'There's A Riot Going On'. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Light in the Attic","offers":[{"title":"Purple LPx2","offer_id":50409874161995,"sku":"1165301","price":49.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"LP | x2","offer_id":50409873736011,"sku":"381587","price":31.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50409874424139,"sku":"381586","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/c636428e-e95f-4848-b64d-7077737d3d50_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726630860"},{"product_id":"something-special-2","title":"Something Special","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlbum remastered from the original tapes with bonus track. The three years spent on MGM Records between 1966 and 1968 were golden ones for Lee Hazlewood. He spent them working with his muse, Suzi Jane Hokom, writing a still-unreleased book, The Quiet Revenge of Elmo Furback, competing with Phil Spector from their respective studios, and coming up with the formula for the 'boy \/ girl' songs for which he'd become famous. In fact, the unflattering portrait on the cover of 'Something Special' did little to hint at how hip this late-flowering talent (he was in his late 30s when 'These Boots Are Made For Walkin' made him a star songwriter) had become. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe common strand on the MGM trilogy is one of the unexpected happening. They were an ill fit for a major label-experimental, difficult to pigeonhole, and unpredictable. Those descriptors apply nowhere more aptly than 'Something Special'. Where 1966's 'The Very Special World Of Lee Hazlewood' and 1967's 'Lee Hazlewoodism: Its Cause And Cure' had employed an arranger, Billy Strange, and a full orchestra, Something Special stripped things back and brought in a flavor of jazz and blues, complete with gravelly-voiced scatting courtesy of collaborator Don Randi. This sat alongside tracks like 'Little War' and 'Hands,' the kind of late night, acoustic balladeering Hazlewood would later seize for his career-highlight LP, 'Requiem For An Almost Lady'. The sound was that of a stripped-down nightclub jazz \/ blues \/ folk combo, fully rejecting the psychedelic music going on all over the world. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe album made clear that forging a career as a serious star was not at the top of Hazlewood's agenda, and at the third opportunity, he'd let the listener in on the joke. Tellingly, Hokom recalls Hazlewood saying the MGM albums were his \"expensive demos. I'm sure that MGM thought that they would be successful.\" Little chance of that with Something Special -it was originally released only in Germany. The same year, Hazlewood founded the LHI imprint, and began building his own empire, one we've been lovingly archiving for the past few years. We now present this missing link in the story, three albums that generated some of Hazlewood's best-and most varied-work.

This album is vastly different from his previous work, foregoing instrumentals entirely. Instead, Wray, left with only one lung following a bout with tuberculosis in 1956, gives us his raw voice, full of spit and vinegar, as he blends elements of country, rock ‘n’ roll, roots, folk and gospel marked with fuzzy guitar and booming percussion.

From the Velvet Underground's debut in 1967 all the way to the end, the New York City wonder never thought about doing it any other way. Beginning with his earliest songs, that was Reed's mission. He once said, \"If you can do it in novels, films, plays, then you can do it in music.\" What made the man from Brooklyn so unique was the way he did it.

The way he could match brain-shaking lyrics with the absolute power of rock's velocity was brand new when Lou Reed began, and was never really equaled as he kept pushing the borders outward until his passing in 2013. He was the ultimate uncompromiser, and never thought twice about taking chances on songs that span a half-century. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Light in the Attic","offers":[{"title":"CD.","offer_id":50418433524043,"sku":"2188299","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/The_Power_of_the_Heart_A_Tribute_to_Lou_Reed_e784d5e4_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726741051"},{"product_id":"1992-2001","title":"1992 - 2001","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis fall, the independent literary press All Night Menu will publish Sam Sweet’s \u003ci\u003eHadley Lee Lightcap\u003c\/i\u003e, a nonfiction novel that traces the backstories of the three members in Acetone, a band that played in Los Angeles for nine years.

Light In the Attic has partnered with All Night Menu to present \u003ci\u003eAcetone 1992-2001\u003c\/i\u003e, the first anthology of the trio’s music. All the tracks are remastered and features 9 unreleased recordings. Counting their early years in the scuzz-rock band Spinout, whose sole self-titled release came out in 1991 on Delicious Vinyl, guitarist Mark Lightcap, bassist Richie Lee, and drummer Steve Hadley played together for a total of 15 years. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey disbanded in July 2001, when Lee committed suicide in the garage next to the house where the trio practiced. Afterwards, Rolling Stone ran a short obituary saying Acetone’s albums were “well received” but “failed to make any waves.” It was the first and only time they were featured in the national music press. Between 1993 and 2001 the trio released two LPs and an EP on Vernon Yard—a Virgin subsidiary—and two LPs on Vapor, the L.A.-based label founded by Neil Young and manager Elliott Roberts. In that span, they were selected to tour with Oasis, Mazzy Star, The Verve, and Spiritualized. Against a rising tide of post-Nirvana grunge and slipshod indie rock, Acetone tapped into a timeless Southern California groove by fusing elements of psychedelia, surf, and country. They rehearsed endlessly in an empty bedroom in northeast Los Angeles, recording hours of music onto cassettes that were subsequently stuffed into shoeboxes and left in a shed behind the drummer’s house. Those tapes are being released for the first time in this anthology, which also includes highlights from Acetone’s official releases. Taken together, the songs form a companion soundtrack to Sam Sweet’s book, which maps the character of Los Angeles as a place through the lens of these three unique characters bonded by music.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Light in the Attic","offers":[{"title":"Blue LPx2","offer_id":50418797248843,"sku":"2013518","price":49.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"LP | x2","offer_id":50418790695243,"sku":"1054053","price":37.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"LP","offer_id":50418793316683,"sku":"1014535","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50418795413835,"sku":"1014533","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/38c8eca5-3677-4401-996a-b1c9722f1e0a_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726743490"},{"product_id":"the-other-two-and-you","title":"The Other Two and You","description":"\u003cp\u003eFormed by New Order band members Stephen Morris and Gillian Gilbert in 1990, \u003ci\u003eThe Other Two and You\u003c\/i\u003e was recorded in part at Real World Studios in 1990 and produced by Stephen Hague with contributions from A Certain Ratio’s Jez Kerr.

It is perhaps the strangest record in one of the most varied discographies in music. The Bombastic brass heavy funk, deep blues and soul paired with Hazlewood’s subterranean baritone would be best enjoyed with a tall Chivas in an off-strip seedy Vegas lounge. By 1972 Lee Hazlewood had settled in his new homeland of Sweden. His days were spent carousing, making movies with Torbjӧrn Axelman and releasing albums. To keep up his prolific recorded output, Lee began to mine the recently defunct LHI Records archives for material. One such gem, was an unreleased album by Larry Marks (LHI producer, artist and the voice of the first Scooby-Doo theme). Larry’s concept was to take Hazlewood’s strongest compositions and arrange them in a soul vibe. An album was completed, but with no distribution in America and no funding, Lee had no vehicle to release Larry’s record. The tapes were taken to Sweden, Larry’s voice was wiped and Hazlewood’s was dubbed… 13 was born.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Light in the Attic","offers":[{"title":"Black LPx2","offer_id":50424918638923,"sku":"2168396","price":49.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/LITA142DLX_b2e1bb7c_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726784316"},{"product_id":"shaggs-own-thing","title":"Shaggs Own Thing","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen The Shaggs’ Philosophy Of The World came out in 1969, some people couldn’t or wouldn’t understand it.

The tracklist includes some of the best-loved Dylan songs from the singer songwriter's most productive decade, including 'Lay Lady Lay', 'All Along The Watchtower', 'My Back Pages' and 'Just Like A Woman'. The genesis of the project was Lou Adler, the music business visionary who staged the legendary Monterey International Pop Festival. He imagined a project that combined the songs of Dylan with L.A.'s most sought after session singers, most of which began their singing in the Baptist churches of South Los Angeles. \"Listening to Dylan's songs, I felt there was a gospel-like feel to them, both spiritually and lyrically,\" Adler says in the liner notes. \"So those two ideas, to work with these singers and to explore that side of Dylan - came together.\" Recording sessions at Sound Recorders Studios in Hollywood were a four-day party, with food, drink and far more musicians than were ordered, many of the singers bringing along cousins, mothers, partners and more. Carole King came to hear, as did Peggy Lipton and Papa John Phillips. It was a rock 'n' roll version of a gospel church. \"Lou just put on a big, crazy party,\" remembers Edna Wright. \"He had all these people together, all this raw talent. And we were there for nothing but the love of singing.\"Expanded gatefold tip-on jacket.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Light in the Attic","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50427014414667,"sku":"372381","price":5.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/fe0edab3-2da4-4de1-ba18-f6da5c7e0228_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726820427"},{"product_id":"betty-davis","title":"Betty Davis","description":"\u003cp\u003eMs Davis's unique story, still sadly mostly unknown, is unlike any other in popular music.

Newly remastered from the original master tapes. Liner notes by Allen Thayer with lyrics (Portuguese \/ English). Erasmo Carlos has no counterpart in the universe of Anglophone pop music that could begin to hint at his relevance, popularity and his complex relationship with the only Brazilian pop star more universally recognized than himself, Roberto Carlos. He may be a beloved pop star and household name in Brazil, but hardly because of the music found on the three albums reissued by Light In The Attic. While in retrospect they can be appreciated as some of his most creative, consistent and personal albums, they were also some of the least commercially successful and underappreciated of his long career, at least until recently. Embracing the artistic freedom of the global counterculture of the late sixties and early seventies, over the course of these three albums, Erasmo evolved from his bubblegum beginnings into a sophisticated seventies singer-songwriter. \u003ci\u003eErasmo Carlos E Os Tremendoes\u003c\/i\u003e (1970), \u003ci\u003eCarlos, Erasmo\u003c\/i\u003e . . . (1971) and \u003ci\u003eSonhos E Memórias 1941-1972\u003c\/i\u003e (1972) collectively find this maturing teeny-bopper delivering a mix of world class psychedelic Rock, traditional Rock ‘N’ Roll, Soul, Funk, Folk, Bossa Nova, and Samba-Rock to an unsuspecting Brazilian audience. Collectively, the songs on \u003ci\u003eErasmo Carlos E Tremendões\u003c\/i\u003e sound like an attempt to appeal to nearly every relevant genre of Brazilian popular music at the turn of the decade. From the cover tunes alone there’s a Caetano song \u003ci\u003eSaudosismo\u003c\/i\u003e (Tropicália), an Antônio Adolfo song \u003ci\u003eTeletema\u003c\/i\u003e (Pilantragem \/ art-pop), and not just any Ary Barroso song, but the unofficial Brazilian national anthem \u003ci\u003eAquarela Do Brasil\u003c\/i\u003e. Of the new songs, \u003ci\u003eMenina\u003c\/i\u003e is a Soul ballad and \u003ci\u003eJeep\u003c\/i\u003e brings the Funk. Maybe it was exactly that, a chance for Erasmo to stretch his creative muscles in a lot of different directions as it became clear his Jovem Guarda character and sound had run its course, along with the TV show of the same name. \u003ci\u003eErasmo Carlos E Os Tremendões\u003c\/i\u003e is greater than the sum of its pop-rock spitballs.
