I'm getting some serious R.E.M. vibes from Somewhere, quality tune that.

They were big buds with R.E.M, Eitzel did a full solo album called 'West' with Peter Buck which like a lost R.E.M album.
I actually don't enjoy it that much for some reason though, it's too happy in tone for Eitzel...!

I went to a small venue in Shepherd's Bush to watch an Eitzel solo acoustic set about 3 years ago with the missus and she nudged me and said 'I think that's him' as this funny little shuffling bearded scruffy dude shyly walked past - yup, it was Mark, time has not made him any happier lol

Gotta love the sadboiz.
Kind of a tangent Doof but going back to the R.E.M thing you should try out The Decemberists' The King is Dead album, sorry to throw another rec at you so soon after Dawes, especially since I've already gotten you to listen to one of The Decemberists' albums so no pressure on this one, but TKiD is their most R.E.M-esque album (it's very Americana/country rock compared to Picaresque's theatrical indie folk/chamber pop sound), Peter Buck even did guitar on one song. It's a 5 for me so you should at least like it and it's one of the great autumn albums imo so it's the ideal time to listen to it. Once again if you check it out I'll listen to your rec of choice ASAP too. :-D

Ha, we have a rec code of honour working here. I'll check it, I'm still planning on getting a copy of Picaresque soon too.
I'll come up with something for you, might try and find something a bit different...

I figure it's only fair, share the love ya feel?
I'm always game for something different though feel free to force me to listen to another album by someone like Richmond Fontaine or the Cass man as well, not that I need motivation to check them in general but perhaps I need could use a promp to do so right now.

I feel that love :D
Lambchop have a new album out soon, would be interested to know what you make of Mr M - it might be a bit downbeat/sleepy for you but I'll take the risk in rec'ing it

I'll give it a whirl - had heard they had a new album coming out and was already considering checking it when it drops. If I understand correctly they're a chamber pop/alt-country blend which sounds like a ready-made Boney favorite! :-D

They're a really strange one, could take a while to grow on you but they're really worth the effort. Prepare yourself for Kurt Wagner's grandpaw vocals dude

Can't be worse than latter-day Dylan which I can tolerate well enough!

Difference is Kurt Wagner always sounded 65+

Well I'm an 18-year-old with the mind of a 40-year-old so I think I have an inclination toward the older folk anyways. ;-] Lucinda Williams is 63 and has some serious gramma vox nowadays and she's one of my top 5 artists.

Spinning Mr. M now - I see what you mean - he even managed to say "grandpa" within the first minute lol.
But I'm liking it, it has a nice lounge quality.
