Out June 27 - yeah baby!! This will be KILLER!
echos myron like a siren
with endurance like the liberty bell
and he tells you of the dreamers
but he's cracked up like the road
and he'd like to lift us up, but we're a very heavy load
City of Refuge - Nick Cave
I Often Dream of Trains - Robyn Hitchcock
Love My Way - Psychedelic Furs - I have heard this on Grant Lee's website and its fantastic.
Wave of Mutilation is the Pixies.

Ta, Mike. Can't think if I know Love My Way or not. am not well up on a lot of stuff by the others, so there you go. But I can inform you that Robyn Hitchcock lived at least as a teen is about a 10 minute walk from my house.
Wish I'd made the effort to see him when he played the smaller of the town's two main music venues not long agi with Peter Buck in the band. I like that about him, he's played huge venues for years with REM, and yet is happy to play at a 1,000 capacity place here. I'd say he enjoyed the feeling.

It goes "Looooooove myyyyyy waaaaaaaaaay, it's a neeew daaay...", in a sad, yearning sort of baritone (or bass(?)). The verses are melodic, but in a depressed melancholic sort of way. If you've heard it you probably wouldn't forget it.
I got very into them with their first Peel session. Liked the sound and the image (as any Bowie fanatic would do). Got the first LP, OK but not great. Then I read an interview where Butler Rep came across as a complete knob (literally, I can still quote verbatim 'I like girls, they suck my cock, they make me come' - I think he was trying to make the point that he wasn't part of the Curtisian depressed raincoat-wearing brigade) and they sold out and I lost all interest. Always liked Pretty In Pink as a song, who wouldn't, including our Elv, if you've heard his cover of it.

' Nouvelle Vague is a French electronica project initialised by multi-instrumentalists and producers Marc Collin and Olivier Libaux. Marc first came to recognition with his band Ollano, known for their Francophone trip-hop / jazz-fusion..'
It's a nice sound, but isn't a second LP more than you need? Maybe it sounds better in the heat. Inclusion of Shack Up great (which I know and love from A Certain Ratio, though it was someone else's song).

I hate modern bands that sound like a fusion between Coldplay and Arctic Monkeys. You'd think that after 50 years of mass music things would be different, but albums made 40 years ago are miles ahead of the crap today.
Preacher was a talkin' there's a sermon he gave,
He said every man's conscience is vile and depraved,
You cannot depend on it to be your guide
When it's you who must keep it satisfied

What does Coldplay and Arctic Monkeys have to do with this thread?
This morning you've got time for a hot, home-cooked breakfast! Delicious and piping hot in only 3 microwave minutes.

Well you know this guy is part of the 2000's scene, the scene i despise almost as much as the mainstream 80's. And Coldplay dosn't sound much like the arctic monkeys, but a lot of bands find themselves in between the 2.

You have no idea who Grant Lee Phillips is do you?

Honey, Grant Lee Phillips is hardly a part of any sort of scene. You really need to start being more open-minded when it comes to younger artists - there are some really good ones out there who are struggling to get their music heard while your Coldplays and Arctic Monkeys are making their millions.

Exactly. And if you felt you'd been part of discovering them when they were nobodies, you'd think they were they hottest thing on six legs (or eight, or whatever, I actually no nothing about them beyond their music and the fact that their average age is 20 or something).
If there's one thing I've learned in 44 years, it's that not all popular things suck, and that liking something popular doesn't make you a person with unrefined taste. Anti-populist snobbery is just a posture of the insecure-- Lord knows Elvis is the ultimate example of someone confident enough in his tastes to embrace the obscure AND the mainstream.
Fittingly, I suspect the AMs named their record with such hype-induced cynicism/snobbery in mind!

Got a promo copy of this in the mail yesterday... haven't absorbed the whole thing yet, but am really enjoying it so far. Great versions of "Wave of Mutilation" and "The Killing Moon"
