Sniff N' The Tears, Peter Frampton Uriah Heap, E.L.O and Olivia Newton-John all get name-dropped by the faux-Brit host of the faux-show Tip of the Tops but on the wonderful "Why You Gotta Lie" Kurt Baker's not paying homage to those seventies artists but rather their nemeses; Nick Lowe, Elvis Costello, Joe Jackson et al.

Yeah, I've been listening to this ep A LOT.
ReplyDeleteYeah it didn't grab me as lighting quick as I expected it to, which is nice as it's been a grower.
DeleteI can hardly wait for the 2032 collectors edition cd re-issue - with bonus tracks!
ReplyDeleteIn all seriousness, excellent music once again from Mr. Baker.

The Leftovers 'Easy To Please' album is excellent.

Yeah I loved the Leftovers, in fact I might like their last album better than this solo release but not by too much.
DeleteThis is a great EP. Does anybody know a source for the 4 bonus tracks that were on the vinyl release of this?
ReplyDeleteI think they're exclusive.
DeleteVery catchy and fun! Thx for posting.
