@Kirk yes! I really like JXF, haven’t heard all of it but I’ve very much enjoyed what I have.

Been a Steve Gunn fan for quite a while, but I think I’ve especially fallen in love with his last few records. I think Eyes on the Lines or The Unseen In-Between are my faves.

Marisa Anderson is another person in this world I’ve been digging a lot lately. Great shit.

Done! I even had to guess the presale code and got it on the 2nd try!

Been listening to this all morning. Got the record when it came out in 1989 and somewhat liked it, but also found it a bit average. Now, with the distance 30+ years I think it‘s absolutely worth listening. Really like Ian Astbury‘s voice (sometimes reminds me of Jim Morrison) and Billy Duffy‘s riffs. And there is even Iggy Pop involved (on NYC).

Give it a try …

Love The Cult.

@endo @Matt Great memories with these two. Love me some Cult.

Missing the Love reunion show at the 9:30 Club is one of my musical regrets.

Cranked up to the max, thanks @endo

They are great. Electric and Danzig were out around the same time both with Rubin on board and a nice clean sound and are just ass-kicking rockers. They seemed to get more metal and glam and less post-punk and goth as they evolved, and I loved it all. Even their more recent stuff is good (at least Born Into This).

Met Ian after a show after one of their break-ups with his then-new project. Very nice man and I love his voice; at times reminding me Jim Morrison and others Glenn Danzig. Really one of my favorite rock singers.

I've always loved those guys. So good. I feel like it'd be remiss not to mention Ian's insane getups from the early days. One of my buddies sent me this recently, marveling over it… "3/4 of the band looks like Love & Rockets sort of standard post-punk style, but then completed by some white-wizard pirate."

And although this song's a classic, my fave is the rockier Rubin stuff.

@mclaincausey @popvulture I had completely forgotten that Rubin produced Electric. Makes sense now that I listen to it again. Straight up and clean Rock ‘n Roll. Love it.

And the “white-wizard pirate” description is right on

The Cult is a column for me!

Not the best issue, but the only one I could get my hands on so far.

Just realised Pizni Iz The Smiths came out 30 years ago this year :'. Anyone else remember this?

This good-ass jam just popped up on a mix. Never gets old.

I was psyched to find these guys have a new record out — I really burned up their last one, Nadi. Sorta lives in the L'Eclair / Mildlife / Badbadnotgood world.
