Cyprus Friday
CoolMom has this weird job where what's going on in the island nation of Cyprus can give her agita for a week.
For me, any mention of Cyprus reminds me of the self-titled, debut, solo album by Stephen Malkmus. I really liked that record. It was a bit strange, though, as many of the songs, like the Lou Reed-esque "The Hook," were straightforward and story-driven. There was a lot less of that Pavement-y word salad that I'd grown to love over the years, but it still worked for me.
For CoolMom's sake, here's hoping for a little "Cypriotic good luck."
Rock on...
Dude just drips talent. I love to watch him play guitar.
ReplyDeleteThis is still my favorite of his solo albums. I like the others in all their swirly jamminess, but something about the fact that this one's all a bunch of pop songs has always appealed to me.
