You ever rediscover an album from like yrs ago that hits you harrrd? such was me & Rino Adams laying in bed late last night watching Italian Calcio w/the Love Is Hell EP's 1 & 2. an incredible, mellow listen for the following situations:
1. a rainy morning
2. a rainy evening
3. a cold, rainy, dreary day
4. right after a tough break up (hence the album title)
5. on a really bright, beautiful, sunny day that you wish was dark, rainy, cold - (it'll get you there).
6. after 4 or 5 yrs of it's release & after not listening to it for 2 or so.
7. when one of your fav artists of all time goes off & marries Mandy Moore & subsequently falls off the face of the earth. Disappears!
8. a day or so after you've watched Mandy Moore's guests stint on Entourage S2.
songs like - this house is not for sale - wonderwall, the shadowlands, please do not let me go,..etc.
i could go on-but it's all one big beautiful understated (at times) gloomy, (even) Bulesy (see under Hotel Chelsea Nights) lo-fi indie (City rain, city streets) druggie (forgot how much he talked about getting high, Love is Hell), sexy (this house is not for sale), depressing (world war 24) New York feeling- this album has a "feel" to it. reeally bringing me back to 02 maybe 03, cant remember right now, but here it is for you & there it was. what albums have you recently re-discovered that have hit you like gut-wrenching ton O'bricks?
