Though I'm such a Nick addicts, I even like Pinker and Prouder Than Previous, so "comeback" is a relative term for me...<br /><br />Mark, for your sake, let's hope he's coming back in the spring as well this year.

For the last 2 yea...It is totally Nick Lowe season! For the last 2 years I have seen Nick in concert around this time of year, but sadly this fall he's not coming anywhere close to Minneapolis. I'm definitely ready to see him again. Such a great songwriter...I need to listen to this song again...Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04638783212215818291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36596203.post-85691486170897849402009-09-28T14:44:27.081-07:002009-09-28T14:44:27.081-07:00It's funny how you can respond to an album in ...It's funny how you can respond to an album in different ways at different times in your life. "At My Age" knocked me out the first time I heard it, and remains one of my favorite albums by anyone from the last few years. "The Convincer" - as well its two predecessors, "The Impossible Bird" and "Dig My Mood" - didn't have the same impact on me. Having read your this entry, I want to dig out all three and re-hear them. Or, perhaps more accurately, really hear them for the first time. Whatever my reaction might be when I do, I cannot wait to see the episode of "Spectacle" that you got to see being recorded. That will be a great hour of television. And, as a proud CCNY alum, I still have fond memories of seeing the Apollo Theater marquee when I came up the stairs from the subway each morning on my way to school. The thrill of that never dimmed for this smalltown Ohio boy.wwolfenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36596203.post-3050298205717090882009-09-26T22:06:40.754-07:002009-09-26T22:06:40.754-07:00From what Elvis said, I think Levon's problem ...From what Elvis said, I think Levon's problem is short-term.
