Well, it's been "Wonder Week," subbing for Gus Mozart's Music Box on Mon., now Buck Calhoun! Here's a rare and lovely photo of the short-lived LA group Opal, featuring Rain Parade's David Roback and Dream Syndicate's Kendra Smith. Roback would later team up with Hope Sandoval to produce a more slicker version of this superior band. The legendary music photographer Laura Levine took this wonderful street snap of the band's main duo, circa 1987.
