(TV) Lloyd Cole

["Emilie Hsu" <ehsu@mindspring.com>]

Wow, I feel so vindicated.  Easy Pieces; however, is what got me into LC and
The Commotions in the first place.  I actually like their cover of Glory --
never quite understood why Verlaine was so dismissive.

Currently also listening to Johnny Cash -- American III, Solitary Man, a
compilation of the French band, Telephone, the French rapper, MC Solaar, and
the only thing that, oddly, seems to actually make me feel okay recently --
Happy Mondays -- which is odd, because I don't generally like them that
much.  I also listen to Interpol's Antics, from time to time, but mostly, it
just makes me cry.  Very odd.  Luckily, I have an Ipod, and these all fit on
it!

Lloyd Cole - RATTLESNAKES. I bought this CD years ago since Lloyd is
often likened vocally to Verlaine, but it only really caught me this
month. Suddenly, I don't want to play anything else. I even broke
down and ordered the 2CD "deluxe" version from the UK, which arrived
yesterday, and includes a whole disc of outtakes, b-sides, BBC
sessions, etc., including 2 versions of "Glory"! In the liner notes,
the band says they chose to cover something from ADVENTURE as it was
more obscure than MARQUEE MOON, and that "Glory" was a regular
addition to their early sets. One band member says he wishes they had
covered "Carried Away", too.
