Is that expression not known in America then? It means it's a good thing.
I went into the album with low expectations as I heard the single Frogs on the radio and didn't like it all but listening to the album as a whole everything just clicked. Some of it verges on the ridiculous and saccharine but old Nick pulls it off. I think you have to go into this album knowing his situation: that two of his sons have died in recent years, that he's struggled with the grief and that he's found religion again. So it's a mix of absolute despair and hope. |

There’s a song called Frank Black by a band called Hagfish
First line is
“Hey Mr Black, did your spaceship…” |

I am here to tell you absolutely not a single person in the entire United States of America has ever called something a "cracker," except as a derogatory term towards a white person in some parts of the south. I have never heard this expression before in my 41 years of life.
Music? I have not gotten into new music in at least over ten years. But I've been relistening to those wonderful three Soul Coughing albums as I caught one of their shocking reunion shows a few nights ago. |

Stiff Richards
fast paced music with a singer who reminds me of Joe Cocker and Guy Picciotto |

Youth For Sale
This great new Glasgow indie band that just formed, remind me of lots of bands but this track "Sure" I think most will agree is very Pixies-esque, nice bit of Joey coming through on the guitar I'm definitely hearing.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c31Q6ix63Y4
I thought you guys might appreciate them, but the reason I got into them recently was actually through my Aunt in her 80's telling me about. Turns out my cousin's the drummer. fair play to the boy, he's younger generation to me like my cousin's son but I have to say I'm not just saying they're great because of that, I genuinely think they're great. One of the best local Glasgow indie bands I've heard, I mean most of them have been slightly underwhelming but I'd say Youth For Sale have got something and I like them more than a lot of major bands that have come out of Scotland.
Haven't got a full album out yet and I don't know what they are planning there, I certainly hope so. I really like the male female vocal combo they've got going - the guy reminds me a bit of Dan Bejar of The New Pornographers, I'd say calling them the Glaswegian New Pornographers is a good fit. And the lassie whoever she is, she can belt out the vocals like I dunno Liz Frazer from the Cocteau Twin maybe? She has this angelic, slightly muffled, a bit lo-fi sound to her voice which adds a lot of charm to the band's sounds.
Anyway hope someone enjoys this track Sure, I've had it stuck in my head for days it's a real ear worm. And check out there other stuff too, all good no filler. |
