(TV) soundtracks
RE: soundtracks
Has anybody discussed Henry Kaiser's dis of Toms 'Warm And Cool' in Forced Exposure where he calls it "boring"? That pissed me off. Try staying awake through anything Kaiser ever released or one of his "jamband" live shows. I will say that Tom's voice and lyrics are to me an essential element and while I like the instrumentals I hereby put in my vote for more band stuff and ... well, I rest my case.
As far a Springsteen goes ... Atlantic City, For You, Prove It All Night, Candy's Room ... a lot of great songs and yeah a lot of formulaic duds but Bryan Adams!?!?? They both have raspy voices but come ON. What about 'Because The Night'? You don't hate 'Because The Night', do you?
Also, I read that there was a Tom Verlaine solo gig here in L.A. at the Viper Room wherein he performed as a three piece. Is this true? Was anybody there? What was it like? I wish I'd known about it. If his forays into soundtrack work bring him out to So.Cal for more shows, I'm all for it although I really hate the films of Alan Rudolph. Television should do a two-night stint at Spaceland. The whole Silverlake scene needs some serious schooling.
