Not now playing, but later tonight

From a January 1, 2003 post from indie rock librarian:

There is a song by Scrawl that I play every year called, "11:59 It's January." Allow me to share the lyrics with you because I think it speaks volumes about my current mindset:

january came too soon
survived the holidays without you

but who are you, you are anyone i wish i knew
and tonight i wish i knew every single one of you

first day champagne old acquaintances are far apart
tonight auld lang syne means leave before the kissing starts

last year went down the drain
they all do really so why complain
drink a cup of kindness yet
and say goodbye to all regrets

it's january

11:59 --- 8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1-midnight

was it a good year do i really need to know cause now it's behind me forever
it was a good year because it was such a bad year that this year can only get better

last year went down the drain
they all do really so why complain
drink a cup of kindness yet
and say goodbye to all regrets

it's january

and who are you, you are anyone i wish i knew
tonight i wish i knew every single one of you
tonight i wish i knew every single one of you
tonight i wish i knew ... every single one of you
every single one of you (it's january)
every single one of you (it's january)
every single one of you (it's january)
every single one of you (it's january)

Scrawl, which Redpac convinced me to see at 7th Street Entry in Minneapolis several years back, is one of my favorite bands.

They have therefore, of course, either broken up, or gone on indefinite hiatus.

You can order a cd or 45 (for those of you old enough to remember what those are) from Parasol, or read more about 'em at Simple Machines Records.

Redpac, which cd of theirs did even they not have a copy of? I'm sure someone around here could find it. . .
