Its been forever since I’ve posted anything but here is a Cave Dog. A little species that I’m working on.
CD longbox for Joy Rides for Shut-Ins by The Cavedogs, released by U.S. label Enigma Records in 1990.
I first discovered The Cavedogs via WFNX’s local music program, Boston Rocks, where their demos were in heavy rotation for most of 1989. I’d go to their gigs (when I could sneak into the rock clubs) and even interviewed them for my high school newspaper.
So when their debut album was released on Enigma Records (home of Game Theory!), it was an event. The band even did a signing at Newbury Comics or Tower Records, which is where I picked up this CD. I opened the longbox then and there for the band members to scrawl all over the CD booklet. But even then, I held onto this little piece of cardboard.
Hand-written lyrics for the Cavedogs song “Tayter Country,” as scribbled by guitarist Todd Spahr.
The Cavedogs were one of my favorite bands in the Boston music scene of the late 80s. Hooky songs that veered from power pop to crunchy rock, with three distinct personalities and songwriters brimming with charm and sass.
It was somewhere around the time when I interviewed the band for my high school newspaper in fall of 1989 that I must have gotten a copy of these lyrics. At the time, I had a habit of obsessively transcribing the lyrics of my favorite songs, even if it meant I had to rewind the tape over and over again to try to make out every last word. So if the song in question is written by someone with whom you’ve established a personal relationship, why not simply ask for the lyrics? So I did.
My personal Fallout 4 theme.
Here’s a Cavedogs tribute to dying because you can’t run or fast travel because you’re too weighed down with typewriters and broken toilets.
If this isn’t an adequate theme song for the Commonwealth Wasteland by a band from Boston, nothing is.
HOLY SHIT. WHERE THE FUCK DID THIS COME FROM?!
WHERE THE FUCK WERE YOU HIDING THIS?! AND WHY?!
THIS IS LIKE MY NEW FAVORITE SONG NOW!
This is from 1990. Fucking 1990. This is like every 90s alternative rock song that would come to exist, but fucking AWESOME.
Holy shit. Dammit, Boston. You had the Cavedogs, and you hide them?
