#72 of CFNY's Best 87 of 87, The Mighty Lemon Drops, Out of Hand

Thinking about Wolverhampton makes me think of a friend I had while living in Germany. After I moved back to the States, and he went home to Wolverhampton, we exchanged mixtapes for about a year or two before losing touch. He was a big fan of the Tindersticks.
