And One (On One) - The Lily's - The Three Way - 1999

My brain is complete mush after a lovely Brooklyn evening. Met over at my buddy Shani's place, where I met up with my lady friend and a couple of her friends. Drank a bottle of wine and ended up doing most of a shot of Jaggermiester (dear God, why?) that one of the ladies couldn't handle. Then went out to McCarren park to lay in the grass and listen to The Black Keys' show (which was awesome btw...never thought a two piece could fill the sound at an outdoor show so well.) where we split 3 mini bottles of Proseco and 4 red stripe. We also succesfully got a pizza delivered to a street corner which is bit of a Brooklyn badge of honor. Then went back to Shani's for more beer and vodka soda....so yeah, mushy brain.

This is another song from The Lily's album where they want to be The Zombies. Which is a perfectly acceptable aspiration. They lift the same angry "I'm so fucking hungover and strung out" guitar tone from "Happiness is a Warm Gun" that James Murphy would later use for "Never As Tired As When I'm Waking Up" six years later. And, of course, how can you not love a song with a harpsichord?
