Yet, all Reynolds seemed able to do was say that he'd once liked Rattlesnakes. I think it would be good if he took a broader view - and revisited his own interview with Lloyd, from MM in c. Jan / Feb 1990, at the time of the X LP. This was no mere interview: it contained good writing and real insight, more than I've often seen from Reynolds since. It was definitely one of the three best things ever written about Lloyd Cole.
I wonder has he merely forgotten the piece, since, or is he ashamed of its thoughtful interest in later Lloyd, whose work he now thinks mainly matter for mockery?

Although leaving the title song off Don't Get Weird was a shideous mistake.

Errr....yes it was. And I can say that with all certainty as A Fierce Pancake is the ONLY bit of Stump's catalog I've ever been able to find (and if's the only think I know, how would I know "Buffalo" if it weren't on it?) I have it on much-covetted compact disc too, so nyah!

They've also re-released the second and third Commotions albums in Japan. No bonus tracks listed at Siren Disc (search "Cole"), so I don't know if Easy Pieces is the 10 track or 13 track version.

LC played both those Cohen covers at his recent Seattle solo show. His voice suits them.

But then he nicked our bassist, and I've never forgiven him. ;-)

It's 'Famous', not 'Dirty'.
He spends too much of his time, live, playing Leonard Cohen songs.

It is sweet, that you post such things when you don't like Lloyd Cole.

LLOYD COLE.THE COMMOTIONS.THE SINGLES. (I think.)
Excitingly, it includes a DVD.
I will find a Try Glasgow More thread for this too, because it has already been mentioned here.
I might start being a huge Lloyd Cole fan for the duration of this little revival.

Lloyd Cole. The Commotions. The Singles. This is the best we could come up with for a title to replace the soon to be deleted 'The Collection'. The new release will actually live up to it's name. Singles only, hits and many misses. Are You Ready To Be Heartbroken? is schedules to go to radio as a single 20 years after it's original release.There is a bonus DVD which will hopefully satisfy those who have been looking for the videos we made. All are included. The package contains absolutely no new material and some of the mixes have been shortened ever so slightly to fit all 21 songs on the audio disc. The artwork is really nothing to do with me, the project isn't either really, I saw no reason to stop them doing it and they are supposedly doing TV ads prior to the release and our reunion shows.
Release date in the UK is Sep 27.

Not that interesting, actually. Except the vibrato bit.

Lloyd lived in 'The Pennines', if that's how you spell it. Could this be 'Glossop'? It certainly isn't 'Derbyshire', or is it? The plop thickens...
Lloyd wanted to be Isaac Hayes. (I think he's making this up.)

It is funny how you and he still have the same voice, up to a point.

Today I saw the DELUXE RATTLESNAKES. It looked nice, but even with 40% off (Virgin closing down sale) it was still pricey. Besides, I had my doubts. The I went to WHSmiths and read The Jerry Nipper's piece about it, which was all I could have hoped for and more, and it confirmed my doubts. He only gets on to the extra disc in the last paragraph. I think that says it all.
There is quite a lot of Jerry Nipper in that issue, but still nowhere near enough.
It is thundering and lightninging. I predict it will reach London in about 35 minutes.
I am listening to GENE PITNEY.
