Re: Go Go Boots and Secret To A Happy Ending Out Feb 15

Eyes Like Glue is kind of mediocre. Cooley doesn't usually do mediocre. Disagre- maybe it was the timing of it, with the recent birth of my first son and all, but I love it and don't see anything mediocre about it. Worked fine in the sequencing for me, too. It was only a matter of "who", ...

Re: Go Go Boots and Secret To A Happy Ending Out Feb 15

The trouble with "Eyes Like Glue" is it's atypically maudlin and earnest for Cooley - turgid, even. I appreciate the sentiment,and I don't think it's a bad song - on the contrary, it's sorta sweet - but I rely on Cooley to deliver the 'zinger' sorta lines, lines that me me laugh out loud,...

What I was trying to say, TC, is that the next big thing will be whatever comes after rock. It may have its roots in rock or sound good to rock fans, but it won't be rock, at least not rock as we think about it today. Rock's moment as a unifying cultural phenomenon has come and gone and the next big...

To me, Zevon's version of "Knockin on Heaven's Door" is almost a little miracle because it "should" be totally maudlin and sentimental, but it's not. It hits hard, but w/ soul, not schmaltz. the whole "The Wind" album maintained its integrity when it probably shouldn't...

Re: albums you heard for the first time this week

Springsteen's sound is all over The '59 Sound. It seems obvious to me. Go figure. FWIW, Springsteen picked The '59 Sound as his album of that year for a Q magazine piece. To me, American Slang sounds less specifically derivative, but also clearly owes a debt to the Boss. Perhaps not surprisingly, i'...
