Once upon a time in Austin TX there was an extraordinary band called Glass Eye. Kathy and Brian were in it. Glass Eye had a timeless sound that was difficult to place. With full drum sound, heavy bass and Katy’s spacey vocals, they were completely different than any other 80s underground act. You could say they were ahead of their time. Kathy and Brian reunite for the new album in 2005 for the first time since the Glass Eye broke up with original songs, although Kathy and Brian published two cds of Daniel Johnston songs in the nineties. Another Day In The Sun is an incredibly strong LP. Had I heard it in 2005 when it came out originally, it would’ve been my favorite that year. Since I missed it then, it was by far my favorite spin this year.
Apparently, I’ve been out of touch for awhile – Glass Eye reunited in 2006 and put out an album that year which I still need to hear…
So, I went record shoping to the My Mind’s Eye record store in Cleveland and I bought two 45s pretty much randomly, one by Peggy Scott and Jo Jo Benson, and the other one by James and Lucky Peterson. They turned out pretty cool, so we get to check those two out in the newest Flashlite edition of the Little Lighthouse. We also get to hear brand new tunes for J Mascis band Witch and The Riff Randells. Also, we’re catching up with some rarities that we missed while the show was closed in 2006: Chick Graning demo Ded Bleaux and Kathy McCarty’s phenomenal record Another Day In The Sun.
