Just registered for this, it's tonight, Jim and Dennis of The Smithereens will be talking about their debut record Especially for You at the 'Tuesday Night Record Club' that the Springsteen Archives does via Monmouth University in New Jersey. It's free and there's an in person and Zoom option (I obviously grabbed a Zoom ticket). I've talked here before about how much I love this record - this'll be cool to hear.

Today (October 31) in 1980, The Smithereens released their debut 4 song EP 'Girls About Town'. The four songs were also included on 'Attack of the Smithereens', one of their compilations. Great bunch of songs here. It didn't have them in a playlist on YouTube, so I made one.
