Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth With Money In My Hand

I was going through some music earlier today and came across this song that I like to break out and play every now and then.  By the Southern California-based band Primitive Radio Gods, “Sitting Outside a Broken Phone Booth With Money In My Hand” didn’t hit Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart, but just over 15 years ago, in July and August 1996, the song spent six weeks at the top of the Modern Rock Tracks chart, which surveyed airplay on alternative/modern rock radio stations.  The song appeared on the band’s major-label debut album, Rocket, and also on the soundtrack to the Jim Carrey film The Cable Guy.

A decade and a half later, Primitive Radio Gods are still together.  Check out their official website for more.
