Reading up on it, it basically is.Weird. Apple Music has this listed under compilations.
Is it because it's made up of tracks from different recording sessions?Reading up on it, it basically is.
It’s basically demos? It kind of seems like they never really finished it.Is it because it's made up of tracks from different recording sessions?
It holds up surprisingly well. That run of Dumb & Dumber, Kingpin, and There’s Something About Mary by the Farrelly Bros. Is quite excellent.The only thing I honestly remember about that movie is Cameron Diaz going “is that hair gel?”
As @Whiteout75 stated I, Jonathan isn’t a bad place to start. Pretty much any of his late 70s to early 90s albums are pretty fun. His music is very indebted to early rock and his lyrics are quite funny. He basically just wants to have a good time and hopes listeners do to.Since I have a vague feeling that there is something to this dude that I should be seeking and I’m fairly certain this record ain’t it, where would you suggest I go next?
I’ve heard his name a bunch and I know he’s an influence on a lot of different people, but this sounded like Velvet Underground lite and well why drink lite beer when full strength tastes better?
I'm losing my edgeI've always kind of assumed The Modern Lovers was more of a new wave act. I'm actually kind of surprised how modern (no pun intended) they sound. I hear more in common with 90s indie and the early 2000's NY scene than I do 70's.
Oddly enough, as I was typing out my post I was thinking how "Someone I Care About" would be right at home on any LCD Soundystem album.I'm losing my edge
I heard you have a compilation of every good song ever done by anybody. Every great song by the Beach Boys. All the underground hits. All the Modern Lovers tracks. I heard you have a vinyl of every Niagara record on German import. I heard that you have a white label of every seminal Detroit techno hit - 1985, '86, '87. I heard that you have a CD compilation of every good '60s cut and another box set from the '70s
Yeah, they're basically demos, at least at the core. I think they recorded some of them with John Cale, and later rerecorded some songs, refurbushed some of the other demos while trying to put it out as a record. But when it finally came out, the band had split up, and Richman had put together a new band with the same name and recorded another album that came out before this. It's all a bit complicated....It’s basically demos? It kind of seems like they never really finished it.
I didn't know that. I see Tommy Larkins play a lot with Howe Gelb out here in Tucson.Yep, he and Tommy Larkins acts as a greek chorus in that movie which is pretty genius. That was were I discovered him actually.
Yup and The original Modern Lovers band featured Jerry Harrison on keys and David Robinson on drums both of whom would later be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as members of the Talking Heads and The Cars respectively.Yeah, they're basically demos, at least at the core.
