Christi Girl (live)

Big Stir Records

Recorded May 26, 1979 at the Firebarn in their hometown of Syracuse, NY this nicely punk, jangly power pop song, where all the singer wants is for Christi to give him a chance, is a lot of fun. It's very melodic, too. It's so important that songs have good melodies, and the beat falls into place because of it, the way all good songs do. It's a good song all around.
