My Let's Active memories:
Saw them open for Echo & The Bunnymen many years ago. Back when "New Wave"
included a lot of great bands from the
southeastern US, who wrote pop songs with melodies.
Then saw them headline a show at Cabaret Metro in Chicago.
Leader/writer/guitarist/singer Mitch Easter had apparently just
broken up with bassist/singer Faye Hunter. The two of them managed to put
on a good show without looking at each other the
entire evening.
Opening act was Chris Stamey, and he was just amazing.
I think all of their stuff is out of print these days. My fave of theirs
was a six-song ep, _Afoot_. It sounded like a co-ed jangle
pop band playing Monkees songs.
And I think that a lot of melodically-challenged bands would benefit from a
Mitch Easter production on their records. He gave
Velvet Crush a nice sound, and he produced a nice little record for an (I
think) Australian band, The Hummingbirds.
But no, I don't watch "Friends", so I don't know who did the cover. Lisa
Kudrow, maybe?
