a few of my fave adverts from the in-flight magazine feelie that came with copies of Starship Titanic, the 1998 adventure game designed by Douglas Adams.

#YungWu is a 1987 #Feelies side project where they turn down the frentic percussion and turn up the summertime college alt pop-rock. Includes a cover of #Powderfinger by #NeilYoung. Spinning on the turntable for the first time in decades and sounds great!

L'illustration n'a rien à voir avec le groupe, encore moins avec l'album, mais j'ai trouvé que tous se mariaient bien ensemble.

The artwork has nothing to do with the band, let alone the album, but I found that they all went well together.

A reminder that Simon Groth's new book comes out soon, and that you can still buy it at a pre-order discount. I just got the full version which is kind of like a book if it were packaged by Infocom.

Come on, nerds.

In the 80s, I sent a dorky, teenage fanboy letter to the Feelies. (Presumably, to the PO Box listed on the back of one of their records.) Months later, I received a perfunctory but polite reply from Feelies drummer Stanley Demeski. That letter has spent the last 35+ years stuck in the sleeve of my copy of the band's "No One Knows" EP. It falls out every time I play that record, so I finally decided to post it on last Saturday's WFMU playlist. (And now I am posting it here.)
