January 19: Caroline's Spine - Attention Please
Wow, I seem to have started a theme week: CDs with Texas or Oklahoma ties. We met several of the Spine guys (Jimmy and Mark) when 12 Pearls was recording The Listen EP in Tulsa. Our producer, Ed Knoll, produced one of their CDs and was their soundguy for a long time.
Kit bought this at the Rainbow sale and we listened to it on the way out of OKC Monday. And I'm not just saying this because the Spine guys are really nice guys and loaned us some percussion equipment to record: why in the world wasn't this a hit? For the summer of '99, when it came out, it is a really good rock record. "Attention Please" should have been a monster hit. Maybe it wasn't nu-metal enough or something. Caroline's Spine did get really popular in certain pockets of the country; when we met Rearview Mirror from Iowa, they thought it was the coolest thing in the world that we had talked to the members of Caroline's Spine. Plus, they opened for Kiss. And that makes you a good band.
p.s. I think I screwed up the link in the last post. Here it is again: Rick and Brad
