Well, the semester is finally over and all I have to do is grade a huge fucking stack of papers. How grand. I'm also curious to see how many students will ask me out this time around. Arrogant? Perhaps, however last semester saw at least three young lasses asking me if I would like to grab a drink with them. But don't worry, I'm not one of those old lecherous type of teacher. Though a free drink does sound quite nice. All of that aside, this record came up in conversation somewhat recently and I was surprised to hear that my friend, an ardent Talk Talk fan, had never hear this charming album. And I assume that there's several other people out there that never even knew it existed despite loving Spirit of Eden and Laughing Stock (these albums have yet to be topped no matter how hard Radiohead plagiarizes them). So Sam, here you go pal.Here
Awesome. If this even remotely similar to Laughing Stock or Spirit of Eden, then I am sure that I will love it. Thanks for looking out for me, man.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely. I think you'll like this one. See you tonight perhaps.
ReplyDeletemark hollis is a genius. hollis and glass hollis and glass.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I think he kinda is.
ReplyDeleteGreat to find your blog. I was just thinking of this cd last night after hearing Talk Talk on the radio. Only ever saw it once years ago. Big thanks.
ReplyDeleteYeah, this one was always kind of rare for some reason. I guess it came out at a point in time when Talk Talk still weren't getting their due credit.
ReplyDeletehah, we just became blogspot friends and i'm nearly an english professor. it seems i am in good company.
ReplyDeleteWell, it seems like I probably won't have any MLA interviews this year, so maybe next year around this time I'll be some else. Who knows.
ReplyDeleteJerry, seeing this (and The Residents' "Eskimo") posted on your blog scores serious cool points with me. No matter what's been released over the years, "Spirit Of Eden" continues to be my favorite album of all time. I know that makes me sound like an old turd, but I'll take my lumps. And this Hollis album is a perfect extension of "Laughing Stock," which makes me wish these guys had actually stayed together the more I listen to it. Keep up the rad posts. I'll be following right behind you.
ReplyDeleteThanks. If you haven't already, youo might like to check out O.Rang, as it contains other Talk Talk members. Maybe I'll post something by them soon.
