Making your friends feel guilty about their cynicism
Comment:
My favorite 80 minutes from an artist whom I'd more or less unfairly ignored until meeting Jen (he's her favorite). While I never had any objection to Lloyd, I pretty much hadn't heard anything from him since "Rattlesnakes"... which means I missed hearing his two best albums, "Bad Vibes" and "Love Story", until now. Thanks, Jen--I really appreciate you turning me on to his stuff. And although I'm usually prone to dismiss most "aging" artists' current work, I have to admit that the last (and most recent) song on this mix is close to being my favorite. Former title (and hence the partially-deleted Jeff Buckley discussion in which I called him overrated): "Swimming is easy when you're stuck in the middle of the Mississippi."Feedback:
Looks good Rob. Perfect Skin is a great song that I never tire of hearing. Another song I really like is My Bag, which failed to make the cut apparently. I haven't anything by him since the second album -- I must admit I'm prone to ignore aging artists as well (i.e. Paul Westerberg, David Bowie, Tom Petty...)
I haven't HEARD anything....
This looks good, Rob. I haven't heard much of him, although I know he hails from these shores. We must set up another round of trades post-santa.
Looks good, Rob. I also had sort of dismissed Lloyd Cole. I'll have to give him more of a listen. As for Jeff Buckley, as I'm a fan, I'll have to respectfully disagree w/you re: the music world's loss. I think he (Jeff) put out some fine music (not all of it I love, but a lot of it).
i used to love him, the first commotion album is a masterpeice and so are the second record of his first solo one, "margos waltz","man enough". he's a great artist even if dissapointed me when he toured swedish kalas tour couple of years ago, MUsic for men who dares to cry ;)
No "Like lovers do"? Too bad, great song.
Many great tunes here Rob, I love his early stuff too...esp the first Commotion album, Im with Sean also....where is "Like lovers do"?....
I'm with p, again...love the first album/early work. Lots! But haven't paid any attention to his solo output...
never knew you didn't like jeff, rob...oh well. at least if we ever want to annoy you senselessly we can create a tape of jeff and you am i and all the other stuff you don't like and play it constantly and then you'll probably go mad and; hmm, sorry about that. funnily enough my brother recently introduced me to lloyd cole, well, his music. and i was impressed. i remember liking a vin ordinaire.
