Hey, hello, how was your day?

“Whatever Happened to P.J. Soles,” originally released 20 years ago, has grown to become a fan-favorite Local H album, and remains the favorite of band leader Scott Lucas. In his words, “P.J. Soles” was “the work of a band that had simply ceased to give a fuck.”

Scott returns to Car Con Carne to take a look back at P.J. Soles in its anniversary year, and we go track-by-track through it.

Specifically, each and every one of these songs:

Where Are They Now?


Everyone Alive

California Songs

Dick Jones

Money on the Dresser

P.J. Soles

How’s the Weather Down There?

Buffalo Trace

Heaven on the Way Down

Hey, Rita

Heavy Metal Bakesale

Mellowed

That’s What They All Say

Halcyon Days (Where Were You Then?)

If you’re a Local H fan, or simply a fan of music deep dives, this is a can’t-miss episode. I’ve interviewed Scott many times over the past 30 years, and this is easily my favorite of the bunch.

See Local H play “P.J. Soles” in their New Year’s Eve show at Bottom Lounge!
