Before they were with Ardent, the band Cargoe recorded their tracks at Beautiful Records. However, a misaligned tapehead forced them to abandon the tapes and redo it with Terry Manning.

Cargoe - Feel Alright (1972)

Hello, partygoers!

Mo’ music, less problems! That’s right! Lots of songs this week as we tackle “Side 2” of Nick Owen’s first mixtape: big beat, breakbeats, lo-fi indie psych pop, Cancon, sad voices, the legacy of Abbey Road, foundational power pop, kooky art rock, drum machines, and grunge-funded orch pop!

Dept. of Corections: Dave misspoke during the show. He meant to say Brutal Youth – the 1994 album by Elvis Costello and the Attractions – not Sonic Youth, the boring alt-rock group.
