Joining a Fanclub box is ace if you're a nerd for demos of this kinda thing. If you needed any evidence that Roger Manning is a genius, there you go...

holy crap this album is amazingi instinctively ignored the hell out of these guys from jump. This is NOT what i expected them to sound like.
The twinkling straussian celeste at the outset was jon lewis bait in excelsis.

The coda on New Mistake is the best thing ever. Perfect song/album.

No love for Glutton of Sympathy? That song is a national treasure.

There is a book out about Jellyfish now, but apparently it's not really in large retailers. I heard about this when Dean Delray interviewed Roger Joseph Manning Jr. last month, but forgot about it until now.

Ignorance is Bliss is how I first became aware of Jellyfish, which led me to look into their other stuff.

i never listened to imperial drag until today. it's good, better than i had expected. by the time it hit the salvation army band song, i was surprised at the ground they were willing to cover. don't love the singer's voice much but it feels very of its time, fwiw. it's less how he does it, more that he can't do too much.

ps- imperial drag is meh+ not so very good
but surprisingly to me, tv eyes is fucking fun as hell, how could something like broken bells be successful and this missed in 2003, in 2006, and again whenever it was re-re-released in like 2014. Even with characteristic falkner vox which i find a bit flat feeling, this is great.

exxxxxactly. and even on a production basis?? not smart enuf to say really, but from an arrangements pov it must be so. Also was he referring to sam phillips? she’s from usa, but totally from that proto froom, attractions school in _indescribable wow_ which is AWESOME imo.
liked this a lot thx, but i’m not good enuf to get a lot of it.
