Tell me about Nikki Sudden?

But that's the prerequisite of fans, sir! (Um, if you read this again.)

Oh God. This is the most heartbreaking song ever.

once a year i get heavily into listening to the jacobites / epic soundtracks / nikki sudden stuff and they always seem like the best records ever made for a little while.
this blog has some cool stuff if you dig around: http://whatanicewaytoturn17.blogspot.com/
there is supposed to be a new epic soundtracks comp coming out sometime this year, though it's been delayed a bunch of times.

Thanks. Been going through a Jacobites/Epic-phase myself, but didn't know about any of this.

Waiting For Egypt is really good. So's Bible Belt. I also don't think "it's nothing like Swell Maps" is that accurate, although upthread someone says some of the Swell Maps play on those records, which might be why!

I love the cover photo of Texas

Surprised to learn he did an album (The Jewel Thief) with the R.E.M. guys all over it, at the height of their fame, and I never caught wind of it. Looks like it was only released in the UK(?), which may partly explain it.

wow no mention of Ragged School here? such a great comp
