While we’re at it
Mar 15th, 2007 | By Bock | Category: MusicHere’s one for Cap’n Purplehead. I couldn’t find Jupiter and Teardrop, the one with the filthy ear-bleeding geetar lick that made the Cap’n famous, but this is pretty good too.
Anyone remember Grant Lee Phillips?
Fuzzy




I certainly do. Saw them on the tour for that album at The Great American Music hall a fab venue (http://www.johnmcdermott.net/2006/08/world-party.html) . They were excellent. I loved the whole album. The company I worked at at my first job had a magazine, and I did record reviews. Fuzzy was my first review, and first time I had been published anywhere in those way way pre-blog days. As a music critic I was suitably pretentious. I also discovered I preferred playing and listening to music over writing about it.
I saw them in the Olympia on that tour. They were fuckin great. The bass player must have tuned his axe with a spanner.
Ah, Bock m’lad. Thankee for that. I must join the growing ranks of those who saw them on the fuzzy tour. I saw them London. I saw them on the Jubilee tour without Joey Peters and it made me realise what an important part of the line up he was.
I can concur. Fuzzy was a fine album (as was Copperopolis) but I can’t believe it really came out in 1993. Someone pass me the rejuvenation juice. There’s a break your heart version of Age of Consent on his last CD ‘1980s’
Liam. I liked Mighty Joe Moon better but that’s a matter of personal taste. I kinda lost touch with GLP. after Jubilee. Must check out what he’s up to.
Cap’n: You need to be out there playing to your people.
