<<<on the subject of rhinestoned troubadours though, can i just say two words: Richard Buckner. go on, you'll love him. although he doesn't wear rhinestones to the best of my knowledge, he does write the most magical songs you'll hear this side of a B&S or Stephin Merritt record.>>>> i second that Richard Buckner is very cool besides three amazing (i assume since is amazing since i havent gotten around to picking it up yet) hes just a really nice guy who is a lot of fun to talk to i chatted with him after his show in Northampton USA at a nice lil club where you can slip into the dressing room and greet people like dick dale and bo diddly and the spinanes and of course richard buckner we had a mutual acquaintance, she had only met him once and had given him a book and he remembered and so i got to chill in the dressing room like a big shot i got to play with Bob Mould's dog too, his dog is scaaaaaaary, anyway so i definitely reccomend him, some people might not like him on here, the fluffier bouncier happier people prolly if you think tindersticks are too intense you wont like him too much his voice is gorgeous in the dark scary depressing tindersticks/mark eitzel style, though its not as low as the tindersticks guy so if just the pitch annoys you you might like buckner oh, on his second album, Devotion And Doubt (i love that title), his backing band consist in part of Joey Burns and John Convertino of Calexico and Giant Sand who people are prolly tired of me talking about ummm....ok yeah check him out, good luck finding his first record, i bought it right before it went out of print and some poopoohead at school stole it from the computer lab, but didnt take the box so i have the box and liner note sbut no cd grrrr i loved that record supposedly its going to be reissued at some point but Rick had a history of being dicked by record labels so who knows thats all i think ----Ev np-True Love Always-Hopefully -- ----------------------------------------------------- I was happy when I put my new record on But I was sad as I listened to it all alone ---"Feeling Fine" by Class my home page: http://www.angelfire.com/ma/dixiecluck +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
