2018 Last Friday Of The Month Singles Club #8

Mike Gent - I Feel That Way All The Time
The Eighth single in a series where I will release a song on the last Friday of every month throughout 2018 (or somewhere close to the last Friday!).

About the song/recording: This is a Green Pajamas song from their fantastic record from 1984 "Summer Of Lust" that I was first turned onto in the summer of 1989 at our first managers' (Sully) apartment (he had a wall to wall record collection as mentioned in Figgs song "Cheap Cassettes"). I must admit I've been a bit obsessed with the LP and it's production qualities ever since. It had something that most records I was hearing around that time were missing. A special vibe, fantastic songs, two friends recording music (mostly about girls) in a house (hey, that's what we were trying to do!), and zero evidence of industry trends or interference . "My Mad Kitty" was the B side of our first single, "Katy Lied" was in our mid 90's set lists and we have attempted to capture a studio version of this one several times over the years (this will someday happen!). "Mike Brown" was briefly played live by both Figgs & Gentlemen, and this one, "I Feel That Way All The Time", we've stumbled through live a couple of times (once in Seattle in front of band members Jeff & Joe). I love The Green Pajamas. They have a huge, rich discography that I am still exploring and being influenced by...but like any first love, "Summer Of Lust" will always have a special place in my soul.

I took a Todd Rundgren "Faithful" (side one) approach with this one, and tried to match the production and performance of the original recording.
Enjoy, Mike
