(TV) Sweet/Lloyd

["Casey, Leo J" <CaseyL@VOLPE.DOT.GOV>]

Michael Forster said: "...someone reminded me about the problem with Matthew Sweet a few years back ichard L was supposed to be the guitar player but by the time they arrived here R had been kicked out of the band, basically for being more trouble than he was worth. 


I think that is highly unlikely

Q: That's great. Now how did your partnership with Matthew Sweet come into play? 

RL: Ever hear of The Golden Palaminos? 
  
Q: Not too familiar with them, but yeah. 

RL: Anton Fier, had a project called the Golden Paladinos. It was kind of a traveling circus. He had records that Michael Stipe was on... Jody Harris. Buncha people. And on one record, a couple of the songs were sung by Matthew. He put a touring band together and he had several vocalists. So anyway, the guitarist quit on him, and he still had two shows to do. So Anton called me and said "Can you learn fifteen songs in two rehearsals?" And I said "Well, no, but I can look like I have." So, we had these rehearsals. Matthew was in the band. He was playing bass. We hit it off in a friendship basis, and well, tried to keep in touch with postcards... phone calls once in a while. And then when he went to do his next record, Earth, he called me. He said "I want you on this record. I like what you do." I ended up doing five different records with him. We recently did a bunch of live dates. I would have continued with him, because I love playing with him, but then we did the Television !
reunion, so I had to pull out.
