On this day (April 26) in 1994, my favorite band released one of my favorite albums. 'A Date with The Smithereens' features some incredible basslines, Lou Reed on two tracks, and the whole thing is a damn banger.

At the time, my 14th birthday had just passed, I was getting even more into music, and 'A Date with The Smithereens' was MINDBLOWING then. And to me, it still hits. From the opening of 'War for My Mind' to lighter tracks to maybe one of my favorite songs of all time, 'Sleep the Night Away'. Over 30 years later, I still play this one regularly.

RIP original singer (and main songwriter) Pat DiNizio, and long live The Smithereens (who still perform and tour with other singers-- something I'm sure Pat would have loved).

I know it's Wednesday and I'll be looking for women artists to highlight, but for some reason this song is in my head... Walk on...
