Legend of the Lost

Fun fact: There actually are some people who believe the unbelievably obscure 1970 album "One Kiss Leads to Another," by a bunch of New York City hippies called Hackamore Brick, is one of the great lost power pop classics.

Dean of American Rock Critics Robert Christgau gave it a B at the time (back when he was still a Deadhead) and early punk theoretician Richard Melzer raved about it in Rolling Stone. Since then, it's become a hepster touchstone of sorts, and it recently got reissued on a limited edition CD., which presumably has not yet sold out.

Me, I'm agnostic. But there are some MP3s over at the Not Lame Records site and you can make up your own mind. (Sorry about the lack of link -- I'm still figuring out the tech stuff here).

Incidentally, if any of the guys in the band are out there -- we'd love to talk to you, if not necessarily to shake your hand.

Promo copies are pretty easy to come up on ebay. And yes, this album is PERFECT!
