Romantica (2002) 1

Alright then. I'll just take this cd back home and never let any of you listen to it again!

x-post - Though I did go to the trouble of buying the vinyl version to get the extra tracks.

Ha. Me too.

what are the extra tracks?
the "23 Minutes In Brussels" on there is great, I agree. When I interviewed Sean Eden a few years ago, he talked about how pissed he was when he learned Tom Verlaine was going to do the solo on the studio version. But then he heard what Verlaine did -- in one take, apparently -- and was floored. Eden gets his chance to shine on the live version though. Such a great guitar player. The solo on "Bewitched" on the live album is something else as well -- not even sure how he's doing what he's doing.
This brings up an interesting point -- TS: Sterling Morrison guesting on Bewitched vs. Tom Verlaine guesting on Penthouse

hmm, the only one I have is "Double Feature" which was actually in place of "Friendly Advice" on the CD I bought...

Oh, I vaguely remember something weird like that. I took the tracklisting off of their old website, as my albums are all in storage...

anyone get that RSD Penthouse deluxe reissue? Bonus tracks worth it?

five months pass...

Finally managed to get hold of a copy of Rendezvous last week. I genuinely thought I had a copy, it came out around the time I was buying an album per week listening to it a couple of times and moving on to the next one. Anyway,what a fantastic album, should have been higher up the poll. I must check out their new album of covers.

the covers album is quite nice. i like that vu song "friends" from the squeeze album which was featured here, the video is fitting:

instrumental EP is A+ too

tylerw, Monday, 23 October 2017 15:41 (six years ago) link

Had no idea they did an instrumental EP. Perfect band to do so.

Eazy, Monday, 23 October 2017 15:45 (six years ago) link

some more covers coming on a couple singles on Feral Child (Great Pop Supplement/Polytechnic Youth Side-label): California Blue (Orbison/Petty/Lynne), George McCrae’s Rock Yr Baby, and two versions of Lonesome Cowboy Bill (Luna and Cheval Sombre).
