Review: THE GREEN PAJAMAS/If You Knew What I Dreamed…..
I don’t want to say I saved the best for last, but The Pajamas are one of my all-time favorite bands of all-time. Yes, I meant to write all-time twice. They deserve it.
One thing I have always liked about the band is that their members really care about their fans. Really. They have gone out of their way the past few years to make their older albums available (even the exceptional All Clues Lead to Meagan’s Bed which I had tried to find for so long) and even went out of their way to make sure vinyl would be available for the latest release (or should I say re-release), If You Knew What I Dreamed. The new album is a chopped down version and remixed version of the 2007 album and is worth it for the upgraded sound courtesy of Green Monkey prexy Tom Dyer. The original release had sixteen tracks but the powers that be decided on eleven for whatever reason. Doesn’t really matter. You can still download all sixteen tracks here. And here is the link for the new release. Hell, if’n I was you, I would download them both if for nothing else but comparisons sake. For more information, I suggest following this link. I know everyone is always using the phrase “most underrated band” but in this instance I believe it to be true. These guys should have been superstars. In my world, they are.
