Side projects suck, but this one doesn't. I don't know why I have such a soft spot for Danny and Dusty's The Lost Weekend, but the two lead singers for Green on Red and The Dream Syndicate got together with members of their own bands and the Long Ryders and made a perfectly endearing party record for your enjoyment. Find it in the fun bin and have yourself a $1.99 time. Just make sure you pull the needle before the obligatory cover of Knockin' On Heaven's Door, that nightmare every troubadour with a pseudodeathwish feels compelled to play to illustrate his edgy stance on death.
