random question

Does anyone own the Hummingbirds' 1990 album Love Buzz, and/or the single "Blush"?? They were an Australian band.

Today I think I time traveled to June 1990 and suddenly that song entered my brain and hasn't exited. I hadn't thought of that song probably since then. It was a fave, and this weather reminds me of driving around North Andover, a junior in high school, listening to WFNX, learning how to smoke (Camel Lights) and deliciously heart-shattered over a chick or 3.
my friends and I actually saw them do an in-store in Salem, MA. We were just about the only folks there. Same month we saw the Cavedogs in the same store. Same turn-out.
Connection? Both their "hits" had the chorus of "Leave me alone". No wonder I am how I am.

Here's the video of said song--wait til the chorus: It's cute.
