Re: What music are you listening to currently?
That St. Ann’s live CD was a true bargain, especially if it contains the DVD as well. Put simply, Aimee’s a treasure. A wonderful songwriter whose songs will forever endure.

Listening tonight to California by American Music Club. I came aboard with AMC with Mercury and I was lucky enough to see them live in Dublin in 1993 on the supporting tour. Too many of my yesterdays were spent listening late at night on headphones to the wonderful string of AMC albums from Engine through to Mercury. Perhaps the best of these remains California. Heartfelt lyrics, weary and exhausted and so very true. I never really engaged with AMC albums after Mercury or Mark Eitzel’s solo albums. Perhaps the loss is mine and there are treasures waiting to be discovered. But there is more than enough in the albums from Engine to Mercury to enshrine the work of a truly great songwriter.

Ah one of my favourite bands from that era. Have all the albums mentioned plus a solo Live one. Good on you catching them live. Saw him (Mark) once in Grafton St. walking with Donal Dineen. I was right behind them. Still am......mcq wrote: ↑Sat Jul 25, 2020 12:58 am

Re: What music are you listening to currently?
Definitely one of THE best American bands ever. I've picked three random tracks which should still give you an idea of how good they were. They did their last gig back sometime in the last century in, of all places, Ghent. Thankfully it was released on double vinyl. Still burns up the floorboards every time I play it.
Excerpt from the review of 'The One That Got Away' Live album:
"Thin White Rope were horrifying,wonderful,playful and macabre. Their fascination with Cartesian motifs - architecture and astronomy, angles and axis and geometry- was always colliding with their almost sensual understanding of all things that crawl and decay. Tension pulsed through the songs, pulling between beauty and terror, dank claustrophobia and limitless space, the coiled,trapped energy of Guy Kyser's voice and the hurtling free fall of the guitar.. God, they were good" Caren Myers MM March 27th 1993.
'The Fish Song'
"You should have seen the one that got away/It pulled away so fast it burned my hand/Now a part of me is roaming the deep/Stuck on the big one I could not keep"

I really love the “hey listen to the sounds this guitar makes” feel to the Breeders.
