As a longtime Cramps aficionado, I enjoyed this song by former Cramps member Congo Powers. I liked "Dream On (Little Dreamer)" by Hunx & His Punx even more (never heard of 'em, but here's a funny video of another song of theirs).
The Scion A/V Garage 7" series proudly presents two new tracks, one from a legend and one from an upstart. Once the president of The Ramones Fan Club and later a member of legendary bands The Gun Club, The Cramps and Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, Kid Congo Powers has stayed a champion of the garage rock scene for three decades. Now he releases "Floor Length Hair" with his group Kid Congo Powers & The Pink Monkey Birds, a dirty-suited glam rocker with scuzzy guitar licks and shoo-bopped glances to the past. The B-side is a little ditty from Hunx & His Punx, the newish band from Seth Bogart that has quickly expanded from its Bay Area base to national attention. "Dream On (Little Dreamer)" is a sassy tune supplemented by a trio of female background singers and bubble gum-popping backbeat.
Download them both as nonDRM'd MP3s.
(Note, I didn't realize that this music was sponsored by Scion until I looked into it. Scion did not pay to have this item posted on Boing Boing. It is not an ad. I just like these songs.)
