Fickle girl, changes mind.
A couple days ago I told someone not to buy this album (and buy Joseph Arthur’s new one instead). Now I’m not sure.
I like the first 3-4 songs. And I love “Splendid Isolation” (song 9) which has a real Traveling Wilbury’s feel to it, oddly enough.
I’m still in consideration on this one.
This is a great podcast. The performances sound good and the banter between the lead and the emcee is just pure hilarity – they’ve obviously known each other for a long time. If you’re a fan of this band, then you need to listen to this! I may have just been convinced to buy their (his, really) new album!
I’m not a big Updike fan, but he had some really interesting things to say here. Shorter (or fewer) questions from Michael Silverblatt than usual, and he let Updike ramble on. Pretty cool talk.
Although note that I only listened to Part 2 because I either accidentally deleted Part 1 or did not manage to load it to my iPod.
