Kenny Laguna is a long time member of the music community, as performer, songwriter, and producer.
In the late seventies, he wrote and produced new wave punk hits for Jonathan Richmond and Greg Kihn. \
Kenny was asked to produce Bow Wow Wow. The outcome of these sessions was a hit called "I Want Candy." Around the same time, he began working with Joan Jett. This collaboration marked the beginning of a long-standing partnership between Kenny and Joan.
Is Jonathan Richmond and relation to Jonathan Richman?
What Are You Listening To?
To be honest I thought it was the modern lovers Jonathan…that’s why I included that bit… but didn’t catch the different last name
It is Jonathan Richman
Purple Mountains
I held off listening to this til today…Amazon is having a cool music sale..buy 2 get 3….on certain items..even the new Bob Dylan album which I am awaiting any minute
Anyways yes this record is fantastic but damnit it’s one long suicide note…kind of heartbreaking although it’s a part of life that should be written about…feelings of failure, a disintegrating marriage, losing friendships, alienation, loss of belief in God and a wish to be done with it…
Honestly it’s great stuff but a little intense…it’s a very good look at a person about to kill themselves which is very different from a look at a person that is sad

I hate to say it the new Dylan album -at least musically- is pretty snoozey
Some good songs…the voice much better than Tempest
Haven’t dug into the lyrics

That’s a weird expression…I am only honest even with a sacred cow like Bob Dylan
My favorite Dylan albums since 1997
1. Time out of mind
2. Modern Times
3. Christmas in the heart
The above are just superb and I will stand on Steve Earle’s coffee table and say so
Tier right below
1. Tempest
Just don’t do much for me
1. Love and theft
2. Together through life
Not going to get into the “Sinatra Dylan albums”
I can’t judge a Dylan record after one listen so we will see on Rough and rowdy ways but it doesn’t rock much which bums me out a bit
But at this point anything he does is a bonus

This was listed as a suggestion for DC based black indie acts on Bandcamp and it sounded right up my ally. Turns out yup, howling vocals, fuzzy guitars, Farfisa Organ and a pounding rhythm section. Nice addition to my Bandcamp collection… Release description is written by Kid Congo Powers..

Yeah: "The South Will Never Rise Again" is great. I ended up buying the LP off the label's website and bought other stuff on the Bandcamp on Friday. My record buying costs are still nowhere near my former concert ticket buying costs, so that is my rationalization for spending this money that I should be saving.
Yup Bandcamp sure make it easy to freely spend… I played it pretty safe on Friday purchase wise…
Got the Don Bryant that just came out, a collection of Gwenno remixes and bonus tracks, new Joe Pernice, a Sloan single, We Are King, that Fountains of Wayne Tribute and a couple electronic music benefit comps put together to benefit various orgs.

THE LICKERISH QUARTET
A supergroup of sought after songwriters and musicians, former members of the legendary band JELLYFISH. The musical journeys of Eric Dover, Roger Joseph Manning Jr. and Tim Smith have synchronized for the first time since 1994. Just like any great relationship, they simply picked up where they left off.

I had the same reaction.

Key listen after a few months…does it have staying power? When you first listen to an album you want to think it’s good particularly if you had to pay for it…maybe everyone around you tells you it IS good….
You put it away and a few months later you dig it out and think to yourself “ok is it actually any bloody good?”

^^ I really like it! Pitchfork is wrong about it.
I love me some Bernard Sumner…
