I have been a CT fan since Heaven Tonight (and quickly went back & got the first two). So good to see them continuing to kick ass a decade into the 2000s. Did you ever hear the unreleased Steve Albini version of In Color? WOW. Good stuff.<br /><br />With regard to their later stuff, you're right about the disappointments of The Doctor and Special One (which had 1.5 good songs). The Woke Up With a Monster album was ok, except for the title track and the god-awful cover. And CT97 and Rockford were pretty damn good. But The Latest tops them all.<br /><br />Excellent call!!Troynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-56904040116124153962010-01-27T13:52:09.017-08:002010-01-27T13:52:09.017-08:00Yeah, maybe I am a little over the moon with "...Yeah, maybe I am a little over the moon with "The Latest" at the moment. Hard to put it ahead of "In Color" and "Heaven Tonight." I happen to think the Todd Rundgren album, "Next Position Please" is damn good, too. Hell, I love Cheap Trick.

I missed them both because I hated the venues- one was Jones Beach and the other may have been Atlantic City. A friend of mine still raves about the Jones Beach show, though only about 78 people showed up.<br /><br />And Noam, I go back and forth about how I feel, re: The Kiss-assiness Of Spectacle. It's because I know how much of a fan of music Elvis is, that I let it go, but then when the camera pans to the mooning faces of the audience, it becomes more apparent.<br /><br />Gonna watch EC and Ray again.

Elvis's acoustic "Town Crier" was fantastic, and seeing him and Ray LaMontagne barreling through "Henry Nearly Killed Me" was - I don't know, how do you describe a performance like that? Unreal. EC has a blog on the Sundance Channel website where he discusses that performance; simply amazing. <br /><br />Anyway, you know what knocked me out the other day? The Stones "Lies" from Some Girls came on my shuffle and I swear it sounded like the 13th song on Never Mind the Bullocks.
