Yup, it might even be out already. There's an article on him in the latest issue of Magnet that I haven't read yet.

It's in my "Fave Songs" playlist, which has about 200 songs in it.

I never thought Teenage Fanclub was all that jangly, but they definitely have those Big Star-like vocals. "Your Love Is The Place Where I Come From" and "Ain't That Enough" are great songs.

Bandwagonesque is nearly a Big Star tribute album, but I agree, their entire catalog would be tough to label Jangle Pop.

The Rhino Handmade edition includes the Watusi Rodeo EP. Get it while it's still in print. RH's edition of
2 X 4 is OOP.

5. The Three O'Clock: With a Cantaloupe Girlfriend
Lead singer and bassist Michael Quercio is credited with coining the phrase
"paisley underground", and his band, The Three O'Clock is another band that
could be considered the most representative of the genre. Formed as The
Salvation Army in 1980, the band was forced to relinquish their name after
their debut EP in 1982. Baroque Hoedown, their first EP under their new
name, was where their sound meshed, and arguably stands as the best
distillation of their sound, which resembled Syd Barrett fronting a garage
band. The band would eventually chart one album, Arrive Without Traveling at
#125 in 1985, but never developed beyond a cult item. They disbanded in
1988.

I just listened to that this weekend (While doing some more ripping of my collection - I'm up to the M's). I enjoyed it after ignoring it for years.

Bongos - Numbers with Wings
Great choice.
I just discovered that they recently re-released
Drums Along The Hudson with a bunch of live bonus tracks. Has anyone heard those? Worth buying it again?
