A couple of things --
1. It's hard to pick up on tone in an e-mail. So sometimes an e-mail may
come off sharper than a poster intends. After Miguel posted his
enthusiastic take on Vinyl Kings, someone else posted that we had discussed
the album before. My initial reaction was that seemed a bit of a smackdown
(though that's just an interpretation) that might discourage others from
posters. Anytime we can talk about new (or newish) music, I think it's
welcome. (However, had someone posted -- I just discovered this band Big
Star. They're kind of obscure -- you folks should check them out. Trust
me. -- perhaps that might merit a sharp e-mail). (However II -- what have
people been buying lately -- seems like Audities has skewed lately to
strolls down memory lane, a la Joe Franklin).
2. That being said, I found the Vinyl Kings record to be merely competent
and basically a bloodless take on the Beatles that was more an academic
exercise than anything else.
