"i could almost like otc if it weren't for all their wanky instrumentals" said eb, either here or on the new zealand list. i'm not sure why i remember this so clearly--i think its because eb touched on a bunch of bands I had been listening to at the time. maybe eb will come around on the apples as well. :) robert schneider has been somewhat involved in the recordings of otc, btw. finally, if anyone is interested in buying the best release of the year (according to eb) -- eric matthews' the lateness of the hour cd -- i'd be more than happy to part with it for what i paid for the promo copy. drop me a line directly if you are interested. i just can't deal with eric matthews' voice on back to back songs. he seems to sing in a similar register with these delicate whispery vocals throughout the album. i'd store this cd between your xtc section and elvis costello's juliet letters, although i don't think matthews is as interesting as xtc. end of commentary (which was not really not meant to be an attack on anyone's musical tastes--just a counterpoint to some recent statements) ken ps i've got a few other used cd's to offer, including game theory's lolita nation. email me for the very short list if you are interested. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ken Sabatini Being a genius is easy.
