I guess my love for them faded after I saw them being boring
I see what you did there.

Hmm. I'm glad to hear folks seem to think they had a spotty career. I still pull out Let Me Come Over to this day and I quite enjoyed Red Letter Day, too, but I've always felt strangely guilty that I never investigated them beyond that. I believe I saw them with Bettie Serveert too...they were fantastic.

I only ask because I saw them play a couple of days ago and thought they were fantastic. And I guess when you start your set with 'Velvet Roof', 'Summer', 'Rachael' and 'Tailights Fade', your really not going to go too far wrong.

Let Me Come Over is one of my favorite albums of all time, so many great memories of listening to this my senior yr of high school driving around at night with friends.

Big Red Letter Day is the only thing I ever owned by them but I loved the shit out of it at the time.

ah, "velvet roof". I will track it down right now I think.

Had LMCO on tape, think I used to play side B then A, punching out of the gate with Velvet Roof and finishing with the dizzying Larry. Seems all wrong the other way round.
Might give their 2011 effort Skins a go, see if it really is a doggedly likable set of straightforward rock songs and if it stands up without the aid of nostalgia.

They deserve to be better remembered..Let Me Come Over is a classic in my humble opinion!

Actually like Big Red Letter Day at least as much as LMCO, but they don't even need to remembered cause they're still around! They put out a record a year or two back that I personally thought was only meh, but they're 2007 record Three Easy Pieces was fantastic.

Though I'm only one listen into it, Bill Janovitz's new solo record Walt Whitman Mall is sounding pretty great so far.

It's awesome. DISCLOSURE: I supported the making of the album on his Pledge Music page or whatever he did.

I could do without the yawnsome Simon and Garfunkel cover, but otherwise I'm really enjoying the new record. A highlight:
