How many Lee Ranaldo records is too many?

I liked new Thurston and Lee both, though they're very different albums. Not the BEST by either, though.

i think maybe if Lee had given the Shelley/Cline/Licht ensemble a band name to credit the album under it would've gone down better as a Wild Flag-type supergroup thing

Lee Ranaldo & The Angels of Licht

haha

just saw this: http://pitchfork.com/features/5-10-15-20/8797-lee-ranaldo/

fun article but i wish he'd been a little more personal and idiosyncratic with his selections, obviously Nevermind and Daydream Nation have personal significance for him but i dunno

yeah not terribly surprising stuff in there. liked the anecdote about playing marquee moon in the lecture hall.

Boring list, thought he'd stick a few more interesting albums for the 'guitarist' in there

And Pavement as favourite band of the 90s, jesus

the coda part of 'Fire Island' is lovely, wish it was the whole song

nice piece by Lee on the Dead, mentions a new alb:

Lee finally accepted my FB friend request last month! Thanks, Lee!

really digging Last Night On Earth, only halfway in and am already pretty sure it's an improvement on Between The Tides.

Lee performing on Conan tonight!

i loled at this:

Mike Wolf ‏@thismikewolf 9h
Some might call it Alan Licht's nat'l-TV debut. MT @matadorrecords Lee Ranaldo & The Dust are on tonight's "Conan" (TBS) @leeranaldo

Nice! His solo records are so underappreciated

playing sometime soon at the bell house with steve gunn & somebody else? might have a guest spot if you'd wanna go morbz.

Ian, pretty sure that Nathan Bowles is drumming for the Steve Gunn band on this tour, and maybe is opening the shows solo as well? Something like that.

New album on Mute tomorrow: Electric Trim.
Interesting roster: Shelley, Sharon van Etten, Alan Licht, Nels Cline, Tim Luntzel, Kid Millions. Lyrics co-written by Jonathan Lethem on six songs.

two tracks:

oh crap, here's Circular (Right As Rain):

the album is wonderful. his best solo yet.

Listened once on Spotify. Some really surprising moments. I'm not sure what I think of the spoken bits but the melodic songs are hitting the spot, for the most part. Ranaldo, Cline, and Licht all playing on a Beatlesque pop record seems like a good idea!

"last looks"!
