I mean, I guess if you're a Sun Ra guy, or a Mingus one, or, like, a big Jesus Lizard fan, or an obsessive Doc Pomus completist, like, probably this LP is NOT your RSD pick, this year, but DAMN the Hindu Love Gods album is fun (or maybe I'm just the right age for it. When last I heard this, Warren Zevon was still alive, eh? I've clearly grown as an appreciator of music since -- or else this ages very well). Anyhow, just a tip, here were still copies at Neptoon at end of day yesterday (none at Red Cat). Warren Zevon replaces Michael Stipe to do blues covers... they are doing "Junco Partner" right now on the stereo, and it's delightful... If you didn't get this, it's a limited run of 5000 and, y'know, there may be a day when you can't anymore, at least not at this price. Oh, and, uh, Peter Buck is coming to town, right? Do you have your tickets for this?
I should try to interview Scot McCaughey, eh?
(Oh, what's this?)
Oh, the Hindu Love Gods did a cover of "Narrator," which people may know from REM bootlegs... that must be the previous singer, it's not Warren Zevon... and it's not on the album with Zevon. I cannot make all the lyrics out, but sure hope it's about having a (sexual?) starcrush fixation on Jacques Cousteau? Or, uh.... something like that? That's what it sounds like.
Is the history of all this out there? I think I need to do some reading. Uh, Mr. Buck?
