Songs of the Day 21 : Sunspot Stopwatch and Cinderella Backstreet

I always think of Sunspot Stopwatch and Cinderella Backstreet together as they form a magnificent close out to  Mary Lou Lord's impressive third ep The Martian Saints.  I never play one without playing the other.  One original and one cover.

Played them to Chris yesterday on our drive back from the Coromandel and got the not of approval.

Mary Lou Lord was known for her busking on The Red Line Subway in Boston and also a pre-fame friendship with Kurt Kobain.  In the late 90's she garnered some major label support but after two non startling albums seemed to just fade away.
