And Speaking of Gorgeous...

....please enjoy brilliant pop classicist Adam Schmitt's lightyears beyond addictive "Speed Kills." From volume 1 of the essential Yellow Pills series.





In all seriousness, if this one doesn't make you smile, I'd really have it looked at. You may recall that I posted another Schmitt song a couple of weeks ago; that one -- from his major label debut album -- was great, but on some level a response to grunge. "Speed Kills" is a little more traditional, and in retrospect I think it's even better. God knows that wordless "doo-doo-doo" chorus thing at the end is a hook for the ages....

  1. Hate to be picky, but Adam's major label debut was World So Bright.

    Anyway, this song still kills.

  3. oh Speed Kills is amazing....in fact it has led my 7 year old son to become completely obsessed with Adam Schmitt for a couple of years now. Speed Kills is known as the doot doot song in our house....no matter what other music my son likes.....nothing reaches EVER comes close to Adam Schmitt....
