The YFF stuff is great, my favorites being "Sounds of the Pacific Northwest" and "Topsy Turvy" (compiled on one CD from East Side Digital called "When We Were Good"), "This One's For the Ladies" and "Electrobird Digest." They also have a vast ocean of singles running the gamut from weird to hilarious to brilliant. You can make a smooth segue into the Minus 5 era with the YFF "Because We Hate You"/Minus 5 "Let the War Against Music Begin" combo double album. If you're a fan of the Sled Dog ouvre, see also Joey Kline, the late great Jimmy Silva and the Squirrels, all part of the Conrad Uno orbit.
I just like Scott. He's good peoples. I know him peripherally, I've interviewed him a couple of times and I've seen the Fellows more times than any other band. When my first marriage broke up, the first people to hear my sob story (at a club, of course) were my best pal Suzie Racho, her husband John Moreman, Scott McCaughey and Roy Loney, who both know the MoreRachos. Much bad advice was offered.

Since I just realized that I worked with his mom in a community theatre
production of Brigadoon a few years ago, I'd like to get to know Scott
McCaughey's music. I saw that Rolling Stone recommended the new Robyn
Hitchcock/Venus 3 disc; what Young Fresh Fellows or Minus 5 CDs should I start
with?
