  1. I used to sing in a Richman cover band in Toronto. This record is just so pure, so willingly naive. I love it.

  2. My favorite Jojo cover is the Young Fresh Fellows’ “Someone I Care About,” which I’ve been looking for for going on 30 years since I heard it on Brave New Waves.

  3. Coney Island High School?
