Can't believe the bookings that fire trap used to get. Bummed I never caught the Paul Westerberg show there, ah well.<br /><br />Anyway, give a listen to Lloyd Cole's "Don't Get Wierd On Me Babe" album and compare/contrast away.<br /><br />-Achilles.<br /><br />PS - Glad to hear the 'dice is still a good place.

The only album of his I own is The Knitters' <i>Poor Little Critter on the Road</i>. X is one of those bands that I've been meaning to check out further, but I really never have. The solo stuff of his I've listened to has been solid, but nothing's really blown me away.Left Fieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03096253129121716274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6230895.post-41629021201569613832011-01-04T14:05:45.015-05:002011-01-04T14:05:45.015-05:00I have to admit I really like hearing about what y...I have to admit I really like hearing about what you don't like almost as much as what you do. It provides shape and boundary for your point of view and gives me more of sense which selections we're likely to agree on.<br /><br />Yep, Metric and Low Anthem had 2009 releases, just wanted to get your overall take. Have you ever commented on a John Doe record?Joey Pantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03822602765976430677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6230895.post-41673515563563428522011-01-04T13:10:42.259-05:002011-01-04T13:10:42.259-05:00Joey,

Janelle Monae would definitely fit that bill. Cool stuff, but I've only listened to her album a couple times so far. <br /><br />Mumford and Sons simply didn't do it for me. I loved Joanna Newsom's last album, but over time, I find myself more and more in the category of people who find her annoying. <br /><br />I think I listened to The Low Anthem's album last year, but may not have given it a fair shake. Metric is higher on my radar since you recommended them to me a while back, but they didn't release an album in 2010, did they?<br /><br />I hope you enjoy the Eels album.

Not sure if you dig that sort of thing.<br /><br />Looking forward to hearing the Eels record based on your endorsement.Joey Pantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03822602765976430677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6230895.post-22104777017091490872011-01-02T20:47:41.717-05:002011-01-02T20:47:41.717-05:00Thanks KD, that's a pretty high compliment.
