I've taken stick over the years in defense of the Gin Blossoms but, yes, “Till I Hear It From You” is good stuff. Thanks for the reminder.

For my own part though, their “Mrs. Rita” and “Cajun Song” are primo power pop too.

If you can hunt down the various-artists compilation, “In Their Own Words, Vol. 2,” Crenshaw offers up a gorgeous solo version of the song.

Having worked in an indie record store, I have a really hard time getting past the unrealistic staffing–most obviously, huge store or not there are too bloody many employees! Two cashiers is a luxury for an indie store–it loses me right there. And how many managers are there?

I'm happy for romanticized odes to records stores now that their aren't record stores anymore, but really, when I try to watch this I think about how much they're blowing on payroll . . .
