> [@Sahirrnee](#): > > _442 GlenWood Avenue_ by the Pixies Three Damn! Thought sure I would make it to the end of the thread without anyone mentioning this so I could be first. This song missed the Top 40 (made it to #56) but did get regional AM radio play. It was big in my hometown because the second-most prominent north/south street is Glenwood Avenue. ---

It was big in my hometown because the second-most prominent north/south street is Glenwood Avenue. One of my friends had the 45, which we played on her little portable record player. I just heard it on Sirius Radio the other day. ---

The live version of “Call Any Vegetable,” from _Just Another Band from L.A._ by Las Mothers… Where can I go to get my exit lights? At Jack La Lanne Hamburgers on 312 Whittier Boulevard. Questions, questions, questions, flooding into the mind of the concerned young person today. ---
