Just another one-hit wonder band from the nineties. That may be one way to describe the Primitive Radio Gods, but that would imply that this band can be clumped in with a group of ordinary bands who had a "lucky streak". The problem then, would be that the Primitive Radio Gods should not be in such a group, because they are not an "ordinary nineties band".
There is no denying that the music on their career-launching album Rocket contains the qualities that are overly apparent in the popular rock music of the nineties (catchy choruses, driving guitars, witty lyrics, falsettos. umm....maybe not-so-much on the last one.) And yet, even within their most popular song with mainstream audiences, Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth With Money in My Hand, the abstract heavily overrules the familiar.
The song starts off with the sound of a phone being dialed. Simple-yes; inventive - yes; clever - kinda; cool sounding - definently. And as fast as you can blink the song suddenly launches into a hip-hop style beat, and B.B. King's howling voice preaching to the listener" "I've been downhearted baby, ever since the day we met." (a sample taken from the song How Blue Can You Get?)
With a vast array of sounds and styles, the Primitive Radio Gods show that they are not a one-trick pony, and instead are a prize-winning stallion.
(all three of these songs are off their album Rocket)

I heard this song the first time in about seven years the other day. Could not remember who does it! Thanks to your "blog" I now remember. I grew up in the seventies. When I hear this song, I can't help but start singing some Lou Reed lyrics.

I see a lot of guys ask how to put on weight but at the same time are
missing the most obvious step - they aren't eating enough. Then the skinny guy finds weight gainers and tries them, or some other worthless supplement, and never really understands why he is not big and muscular like the other guys at the gym. 'Tis the
season to gain weight, from holiday parties to cookie exchanges to experimenting with new recipes for Thanksgiving like buttery biscuits stuffed with five kinds of cheese.
