I don't know his later albums but his 70s albums are great.

They are; his productions on others are just as good IMO, but don't tend to have such thread-worthy titles.

He did one a couple of years ago that was full of autotune and still pretty great

I haven't heard that one but the cover art is awesome. kinda curious about the slew of mostly self-released '80s-'00s Swamp Dogg albums that virtually nobody has heard. I kept seeing the same used copy of Surfin' in Harlem at my local record store for about 5 years but never had a strong enough impulse to buy it

Give 'Em As Little As You Can As Often As You Have To

is p perfect, definitely has the going through the motions vibe that these titles have

i haven't heard the vast majority of swamp dogg's work but for whatever reason "love, loss, and auto-tune" did cross my radar, possibly due to someone saying "no look this is fantastic", and whoever said that is right! he's got a duet with his auto-tuned self, he closes with an auto-tuned take on "stardust", he just has this knack for bringing out the best in anything he works with

swamp dogg should have a bigger cult than he does, the man is a national treasure. does he even have a dedicated thread here?

I interviewed him for Love, Loss & Autotune, he was such great company. He's good frends with Bon Iver now, afaicr.

Dramatis, "For Future Reference". Very much 80s and also very much a generic crappy album title.

I was surprised Bentley Rhythm Ace had such retro looking album covers until I looked a little more closely.

I had a dream last night that I released an album called "Why Are You Still Here?" and posted it on this thread

justice 4 CCR (Sparkle Motion), Monday, 30 March 2020 15:57 (four years ago) link

I had a dream months ago about making an album cover called "The Quiet Life", where I'm sitting in a large chair holding a martini in an exaggerately relaxed pose sort of giving a "cheers" to the camera, while behind me a circus is passing by with elephants, jugglers, people crashing enormous cymbals etc. I blame this thread seeping into my subconscious!

that Dramatis album cover is such a thing from that era - I have many childhood memories of flipping through my dads record collection and seeing endless album covers that were just band members fucking standing in a generic room with various objects in it.

Wow, is that the first time this has appeared on this thread? It seems like it should be a founding member. Even has the ellipsis, the font, it's so perfect.

No, never seen before! Shares a certain poignancy with this favourite of mine:

Joel has strong Bill Hader satire vibes.

That Paul Bogush album was produced by Larry Carlton! Not one you'll find near the top of his CV.
