I've mentioned them before but even better(IMO) at the Bacharach style are BC Camplight
Richard, holy hell, thanks for this recommendation of BC Camplight. Love the Blinkers, and now hearing clips of this guy's album is just perfect! You're the man!
I owned Aeroplane for quite awhile before getting into it. I loathed it, in fact. And then a good friend of mine - who after enduring a rant about why I regarded the disc as crap - responded with a very heartfelt defense of it. I didn't turn around automatically and then love it, but yes, the turn-around was quick. I was shocked to discover one morning that I actually NEEDED to hear that disc. And now Aeroplane is up there in my top 100. It's a messy creature, it defies you to hug it even in all its grotesque glory, but its ugliness is one of the things going for it like a disturbing Klimt painting.
Sebastian: Please do not invoke my name in an attempt to stir things up again. Your endless misanthropic posts aren't cute. I don't waste time slandering you; please don't do the same to me. Your bile-filled mentions of my name and Jon Hunt's name seems to lead you to believe that you have some deeper insight into our lives, motivations, and beliefs than you really possess. Instead, you're just punk with a computer who thinks of himself as The Greatest Iconoclast Ever who thinks you can say whatever caca comes into your head to anyone. You're dealing with REAL people here.
Things have been set straight with Charles. I am choosing to honor Charle's gesture (see Appreciation Thread by Charles himself) as a sign of good will from here on out.
