ROB SEZ: Fans of classy pop lost another hero recently with the sudden, unexpected death of Wondermints co-founder Nick Walusko, who became an important part of Beach Boy Brian Wilson's musical world in the 21st century. Here's a wonderful essay in tribute to Nick from someone who really "got" him. I've posted several other Wondermints collections here in the past, but here are two more. Like most of the others, these came originally from Angelo at Powerpop Criminals. All thanks to him!

ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. MrDave. Thanks for the thanks.
DeleteGreat stuff.......still have a bunch of the 'colored' cassette tapes that got from original bassist Brian Kassan in the 90s.....only saw the 'Mints once, at either a late Poptopia festival show, i think at either the Whiskey or the Troubador in LA, or maybe an early International Pop Overthrow, circa 1998-99.....they were great live.....
ReplyDeleteHey Jim - It's so cool that you got to see them live! I think Angelo collected most of the tracks from those early cassettes, and I re-shared them here:

Hi Jim,
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering if do you still have some extra copies of the aforementioned cassette tapes and you're interested in selling them.
Thanks, all the best and stay safe.
