Trag probably loves the pixies but they haven’t put out a good SOUNDING and well produced album to his liking so here we are.

Their records sound awesome

Nah he doesn't like Frank Black's vocals. And we are well within our rights to fling poops at him for it.

I really love those Great American Songbook standards. I just don't think there's any other kind of music that moves me in the same way. It's at the perfect intersection of my two favorite genres -- pop and jazz! (yes I know it precedes either but I mean it exhibits attributes of both modern pop -- its catchiness, melodicism, structuredness, playfulness and emotion -- and jazz -- its richness, orchestration, and musical sophistication. Does that make sense?)

Anyway I'm sitting here really high and nearly driven to tears by "All Of Me"

Did Gershwin ever do anything notably sad? Or is there another composer in a similar sonic space who did stuff that was sad, and maybe more spacious?

Perhaps the Traggiest post of all time. I love this shit.

Trag lives in atmos

I can hear the sound in my head of what I want to listen to as I drift off to sleep, but I don’t know if it exists

Probably a good sign that you should get back into recording music. And if it already exists, forgiveness vs. permission and all that.

This is the stuff right here;

Going back to our 80's talk (sorry), but 'Always the Sun' by the Stranglers and 'She Drives Me Crazy' by Fine Young Cannibals are absolute bangers. The former I hadn't heard before. The latter is an unavoidable classic.

The Strangler's whole discography is quality, from the punk early days through the smoother/poppier later stuff. Really great band. I could do a hella good mix-tape for them.

You should probably go ahead and do that.

This is great. No disrespect to Frank, but I'd love an instrumental version. But yeah KD, this was pretty dang close.

Jorge · **Posted:** Mon November 22, 2021 4:25 pm

You'd never heard In the Wee Small Hours?!

I'd like to hear an instrumental version but I love his singing on it

It makes a great trilogy with Only the Lonely and Watertown

The essential sad-sack Frank. I'd reissue them together but using the incredible cover art for No One Cares, which qualifies thematically but isn't as good as the others

I'm by no stretch a Frank expert. I lived in Hoboken for a bit and they played his music everywhere. And between my childhood being surrounded by Italian immigrants, and my stint in Hoboken, I guess I felt like I'd digested enough to know what he's all about. But this record really does skew more somber than what I typically think of with him.

I mean look at this cover
