Neil Michael Hagerty solo album: C or D

"You're gonna Looooooooossssssse, an' ahm not tawkin to yoooooo...."

Or whatever.

On that solo-album. Don't feel any need to check it out. This thing loses it charm without Lady Yeah. But I'll say that Neil looks pretty healthy on the cover. And I see my share of junkies on regular basis.

Also definitely worth noting are the EPs from 98 and 00, 3 Song and Radio Video, which are just as interesting and fun and filled with ideas as any of the albums!

I haven't yet checked out any of NMH solo albums, as I am still getting thorugh the Royal Trux albums.

I got "Pound for Pound" and "Veterans of Disorder" a couple of months back and only started listening to the Trux a little over a year ago.
I would never give RT the time of day for pretty much ten years, as I saw them open up for Sonic Youth and lay out the really big suck live.

Someone was off loading copies of "Thank You" for .50 cents plus shipping off of Amazon used and I gave them a try and am glad I did. I was suprised, they were a pretty good rock and roll band at least in the studio.

I haven't checked out anything before "Cats & Dogs", as that shit would probably be a bit much, considering some of the slay tracks from that period on the Singles collection.

If you like it slightly more "rock", slightly more straightforward, you still ought to investigate the second self-titled record, which immediately preceded Cats & Dogs. Fucking great; yes still quite stoned, but rocking, esp. on "Move" and "Sun on the Run". Also has "Junkie Nurse", key song in the self-mythologization but more importantly just a wonderful acoustic song by Neil.

(also, I'm with you in that I still haven't heard Hagerty's solo stuff; still planning to pick it all up eventually, just haven't been able to keep up. roger adultery wrote some comments the other day on the Seeds thread.)

Here you go.

So amazing. His playing is really at its most fluid and effortless. Let's praise Neil some more because it really can't be done too often.

I saw Roger on ILX now so I hope he posts to this thread.

okay i'm a total mark, finally listening to this, and i love it.

this is a great record! I love his way with a farfisa and a drum machine.

it was sitting sealed in my room for like 6 months. so dumb.

Came on in a bar a couple nights ago and I remembered how insanely wonderful and bent it is.

I think I paid like $2 for my copy

i think i paid about that much too, during one of the last days of tower.

feel like this stuff is way ahead of me. taken years to get how good "shaved cunt" is
