Gwiz-gau Letter Grade: A Sad To See It Go: No The Sea Monkee EP of 1994 I never realized got expanded to "Sea Monkey Plus 7" on CD via Midriff Records in 2006.  I had a copy of this probably given to me by Mark Erdody back when it came out.  Maybe he came to NYC to play around that time.   The two standout hits here are "15 Second Crush" and "Jump Ball."  "15 Second Crush" was a live favorite and "Jump Ball" has a nice little guitar melody up against standar...

However, the fantasy that he was a bad boy just like the people he was playing for earned notar...

This was a Ram session track, and I first heard it when my neighbor...

You can'...
