The Clean - Compilation

Pop genius is right

UGH! I just remembered I was supposed to send mp3s to people. I will try to remember to do that soon!

Hey etc did you download your files?

The sent link might expire soon, so just another bump to make sure it gets seen

Currently travelling in rural NZ so have been away from the internet - will see if I can download onto my phone tonight.

Don’t sweat it! I will resend if need be

Seeing clemenza get into the Clean does my heart good this Tues morning. Although I p much love every track on Compilation/Anthology Disc 1 I must admit that PTTSE is my favourite too, along w Getting Older & the live At the Bottom, which is the surf guitar/mutant disco mashup of my Michigan dreams

My favorite blog posted a nice rare tape recently. Note he is good about not posting and/or taking down links to commercially available music so worry not:

Hey, thanks again for sending that, Evan.

One of the nice things about the Clean's early stuff here is that so many Kiwi bands throw out a cover every now and then - here's surf band Planet of the Tapes with "Fish" on the second side of this 7" (~2:59 or so on this video):

& here's an excerpt of Wellness doing a short and sweet dual-vocal take on "Point That Thing Somewhere Else" (nice to have a poppier cover as there's so many extended jams on it out there):

Last night was the first time I had seen Wellness play. I was hooked from their opening song. A cover of Point That Thing Somewhere Else by The Clean. Great band. pic.twitter.com/s2N5eR3d63
