proxy of urth & shray: Jayhawks, "Waiting For the Sun"
*Very* vivid memories of hearing this on our campus radio station, WARC, and being instantly smitten with it. I heard "Joining a Fan Club" from the same DJ.
(PS: Last night I revisited the Thorns album - Sweet, Droge, Mullins - which included a cover of the Jayhawks' "Blue." The cover, and indeed the whole album, were as disappointingly pedestrian as I remembered. Good thing I only paid a buck for it.)
