Whilst I’d recommend Sophie myself, you certainly won’t go wrong with Hawaiian – both are brilliant albums.

Pedro, i’d go for ‘Hawaiian Open Mic Night’ personally. one of my favourite cds for sure. Also, it’s worth finding the Herman Dune cover album ‘Catching Light’ the did.

I’ll angle for Sophie, then maybe. When I get some cash

The lineup for this year is looking amazing. Calexico too, which warms my heart. Last year I could have gone twice and still ended up missing bands I wanted to see.

In terms of the Wave Pictures, you might as well work your way backwards. Sophie might be in my top ten albums for this decade.

I don’t have those others. Which one is worth getting? I do think ICB is ruddy marvellous (if a little wishy washy in the middle). Wish I could do stuff like that.
& I do like the drummer one. The one I don’t like is 12. The one before Cassius Clay, which I really like.
I am slightly ashamed to admit I got into them through the collaboration they did with John Darnielle, He Swims Like A Fish, a ruddy marvellous track you can download from the WP website. If only all tMG stuff sounded like that.
Still. WP and tMG at EotR. Can’t wait.

That’s a lot of abbreviations.

Yeah, as much as I like a lot of the songs on it, I am not finding the whole album all that gripping. Not that there’s not some good stuff, but I don’t think it compares with Sophie, Catching the Light or Hawaiian Open Mic Night.

you’re right about this. it does peter out a bit after the first coupla tracks.

Still very good though.

In other news, Mr Toad wasn’t instantly bowled over by the Wave Pictures at first but since his other half insisted on his playing them (to be fair, i never know who i like, just what, “play that one that goes ta ded deee dee dee with the adenoidal guy” is as close as it gets) he got there in the end.

Its me wot has the taste. Me!
