Sometimes a smaller budget and time frame are your friends and make for a better result. It stands apart and has it's own magic. My personal lilys favorite - it seems to perfectly capture what was going on then. Maybe I'm biased, I helped with it. No, it is really good!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00122292127962619592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6776777782419637264.post-29574060557920739042009-10-29T03:35:36.807-07:002009-10-29T03:35:36.807-07:00The great thing about this record besides the fact...The great thing about this record besides the fact that it changed my life, is that it cost roughly 1000 dollars to make vs "Loveless" costing over 100,000. That is punk and brought the possibility of actually being in a band a reality to me. In some ways I think it sounds better than "Loveless." Or I guess more american or more real. It all came together last Fall when Kevin Shields asked the Lilys to play ATP. It all made sense then.pixelifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550475943125505437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6776777782419637264.post-39868018537480685652009-01-19T23:03:00.000-08:002009-01-19T23:03:00.000-08:00Hey look.

Although Loveless is impeccable, this seemed more graspable made by people I could be and was (later) linked to. Made for probably 1% of what Loveless cost. Still probably the record of my dreams made real as a 17 year old and sonically totally amazing.pixelifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550475943125505437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6776777782419637264.post-83874956430873121752008-10-29T15:16:00.000-07:002008-10-29T15:16:00.000-07:00thanks so much for posting this beautiful album!!!...thanks so much for posting this beautiful album!!!<BR/><BR/>this blog is awesome!!!<BR/><BR/>cheers from mexico!!Luis Angel Martínez https://www.blogger.com/profile/07537046064077978894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6776777782419637264.post-82114482838321639302008-10-27T10:20:00.000-07:002008-10-27T10:20:00.000-07:00It's great that you posted about this album, becau...It's great that you posted about this album, because it's one of the gems in my collection--mostly because it is so hard to find. That said, I've never been a huge fan of it because it is quite derivative, and not in a good way like, say, Chapterhouse's "Whirlpool" was derivative. (Along those lines, you could do a day on the "Rounderbowt" compilation that is unavailable almost anywhere these days.) Still, "Claire Hates Me" is pretty darn excellent!<BR/><BR/>www.carburetordungtoo.blogspot.comMurray Jay Siskindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04664048698990876378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6776777782419637264.post-6138988915042991412008-10-25T20:01:00.000-07:002008-10-25T20:01:00.000-07:00Why yes I do!

Amazing! 10 years ago, the drummer from Spavid (ever hear of them?) was living in Philly and thought I should move there and be in the Lilys. That would have been funny!evrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02462220395235047713noreply@blogger.com
