Favorite Spanish Dishes, an EP from Boston's Lemonheads, came out on Atlantic in the UK in June 1990, landing between the albums Lick and Lovey while the band was still shaking off its punk-scuffed college-rock beginnings. Evan Dando was at the wheel, with co-founder Jesse Peretz and drummer David Ryan behind him.
"Different Drum" is the track that stuck, Dando's slacker croon making it sound bruised and sweet at once. The American edition, which followed in February 1991, added two covers that say plenty about his taste: "Step by Step", from New Kids on the Block, and the Misfits' "Skulls". It takes a particular kind of nerve to put boy-band bubblegum and horror punk on the same record, and to make both sound like your own.
