P.S. for Caz (sorry for the private use of public feedback) I read you in On Trial. You're good. There, even very good. When you have something to say, when you don’t have to say ā€œagainst,ā€ it’s even pleasant to read you. I’ll close here. An ecumenical odradek?

How I love it when Caz manages to surprise me. It happens rarely, but when it does... Yes, he has a nice voice. Of course, avoiding hyperbole, in any context, is still a mirage. What a guy you are!

I didn't mind it at all. In fact, overall it was better than what the individual parts suggested. And much of the less known stuff was, amusingly, just for that reason more "credible." I rate it a half point higher than it seems. Sorry Bogus, a lot of it but no Jesus...

Damn, and thank goodness it hasn't been released yet. But do these charming Belgians know how much you care for them? English isn't exactly my daily bread either, but will I enjoy it like the others? It's nice to be able to get some feedback in post/previews from all these admirers...
Yes, the "review" seems driven by a somewhat vain desire for visibility. Better blood and sharks or ass and Village People?

No, Hal. I have the impression that most of you here have much more money than I do. I have to deal with a regrettable lack of funds, which I should consider now endemic, but I won’t give up. Richter 858 has been on my list since it came out, but since I already have several of his records, including the ones you mentioned, and some, as usual, borrowed and never seen again (Quartet, damn it).... Then I'm waiting for my trusted "download lady," who is on a long vacation (three months, nearly) and perhaps it will be the first of her new stack. Yes, everyone tells me good things about Richter 858. Somehow I’ll get it. I also like Nashville and the one with the black and white photo with a kind of silo... and the old ones, almost all of them.

I should listen to it. I just heard something, and maybe I'll take it....

Here, the one about the lawnmower, "A True Story," I believe is the title, was instead a phenomenal, positive surprise. I always appreciate the effort to shift one's talent to less common territories, especially in someone like Lynch, who has a very recognizable trademark. And that film, which I've seen a couple of times, so anomalous in its production, is very "successful." Strange that you can't find Wild Heart; it seems to me I've seen it a bit everywhere...

From here I can't catch the beauty of the blanket. But I have to trust, I believe, even if it seems a bit déjà vu to me...

If only I could get an idea of the things that lie within an album from the standard reviews as well as from the little gems you scatter while hopping about, it would be a better DeMondo.

I arrive more than a year later, can you believe it? But I still find it fresh and new. Good sign, 5 and favorite.
