I was going to put this on a Christgau thread, but it's only tangentially related to him (because it took me forever to find it, it became the most elusive A-record from his '80s book for me): Persian Gulf's Changing the Weather. Once through, and the two songs that jumped out were "It's a Good Thing" and "(I'm So Glad I'm) Living in the Free World." The latter struck me as good, not great, but I thought it pretty interesting how it anticipates Neil Young by five years.

Did not mean to make this into a nostalgia Saturday. That usually happens when I'm a bit depressed, which I'm not today.
My other favorite from Fiat Lux follows something like the Great Divide formula:

Apparently this is all a result of their two albums being reissued last year which I missed.

They plead being but coming persists!
You tell 'em!

Oops, ruined it:
They plead being but becoming persists

He-Ho is such a good album. I used to prefer Fiat Lux. I think I like my favorite Fiat Lux songs more, but He-Ho has pretty amazing flow:

Throw in a few bonus tracks of course and that throws off the flow. Mouse was not on the original album. Don't even know where that came from.

Although the one-two punch of You and Make Believe at the beginning of Fiat Lux is nothing to dismiss lightly.

Nice to see these reissued on Southern Lord alongside so much Boris!
