Of course, that band was only around for a few years, only put out one EP of four songs, but somehow there are about 33 or maybe it's actually 29 songs on this compilation, some that I've never heard before despite having many, many Nerves compilations.
Sid SauterHOST
And that song is one of them, Radio Station, written by Peter Case.
Sid SauterHOST
Just a wonderful one there.
Sid SauterHOST
Anyway, I guess that's how the podcast works now.
Jeff RobsonHOST

Jeff RobsonHOST
Before that, a classic from Peter Case.
Jeff RobsonHOST
From the man with the blue postmodern fragmented neo-traditionalist guitar.

Weird Traveling Light.
Owen TempleGUEST
Yeah, yeah.
Owen TempleGUEST
Sometimes I was listening to the Peter Case.

33 MINS LATER
Owen TempleGUEST
And of course, Ray Hubbard's the other example of teeing it up songs in a way that the song just...
Owen TempleGUEST
Is a huge payoff to a great Mark Twain type story that just happened.
Owen TempleGUEST
You know what I mean? Did you go see Peter Case last week? I didn't see him last week, but I've seen him.
Owen TempleGUEST
He's a good actor.
Wesley StaceGUEST
Why don't you let me go ahead and record those? And one of them was a song called The Red Rose and the Briar, which was on that album.
Wesley StaceGUEST
And another was a song called Thing Snowball that was a song I'd written within the last week or two with Peter Case, whom I'd just met and said, do you want to write a song for my album or put it on my album? And another of the songs was Like a Prep.
Wesley StaceGUEST
Now, my big influence for Like a Prayer as a cover, I loved the song Like a Prayer.
Wesley StaceGUEST
Some people thought it was sarcastic, but I don't think a lot of people put, I mean, Weird Al maybe, but I don't think a lot of people put a lot of time into producing the best cover they can possibly do of a song they don't like very much.
Dave FeyHOST
I have a brother who lives out there, and every time, I think every single time I get out to L.A., I try to get by McCabe's.
Dave FeyHOST
And not too long ago, I had Peter Case on, and he did that recent really great live album that was recorded there.
Dave FeyHOST
And yeah, he talks about it, too, that there's just something about that space and that stage and, um, anyway, very, very cool.
Paula FongGUEST
Yeah.
Bill LambustaHOST
Yeah, hit me.
Brian EricksonHOST
This song was co-written with Peter Case.
Brian EricksonHOST
Again, owing to that forming early relationships, he was in a band called The Nerves that were also part of that late 70s scene that the Go-Go's came up in.
Brian EricksonHOST
And he would go on to have a solo hit single himself called A song called Dream About You, which you've absolutely heard.
Chris PriorHOST
Many of them are covers, and this is one of them.
Chris PriorHOST
It's called On the Way Downtown, written and initially recorded by Peter Case.
Chris PriorHOST
Then the very recognizable voice of Beth Hart.
Chris PriorHOST

Mark EllenHOST
Oh, yeah.
James EwingGUEST
And I, I only came across them because I went to a, a gig, um, featuring Peter Case, who was the-
Mark EllenHOST
Yeah
James EwingGUEST
...
David HepworthHOST
It ...
David HepworthHOST
Don't, d- we shouldn't get hung up on who doesn't make it.
David HepworthHOST
We should instead reflect on how miraculous it is that Peter Case is still going.
Mark EllenHOST
Yeah.
