Reigning Sound - Love and Curses

awesome, new rs = good times

Finally! Can't wait. Ha, how many "garage" records I've cycled through in the past few years looking for that sweet spot Cartwright hits so consistently

where to start with these dudes

Time Bomb High School

'reptile style' and 'straight shooter' are epic tracks

man "straight shooter" is KILLER

yes to both of those things. She's bored with you and I Don't Believe are pretty great, too

So this "Live At Goner Records" CD at my radio station is some promo-only thing? "cause it's new as well. Should I rip it for Leonardo?

Goner is selling it at their store, it's probably available commercially. I got a copy from them when I was last in Memphis and dropped a hundo on new shit. Mentioned that I did a show at a community radio station and they gave me Cococoma, Eddy Current Suppression Ring, and the live @ goner cd's for my station. It was awesome!

is the CD is a reissue of the vinyl that came out back in like '06?

not sure, will check

does he (get) get 'lectrocuted cuz if so then it is teh same session.

Yeah, that's the one.

it happens during "two thieves."

I really, really wish this album was available now. What's the actual release date, the 11th?

oh yeah not the album cover btw. that's from a Break Up, Break Down single, iirc

I had never heard these guys before, but this is astoundingly good. Holy mackerel. I am so down with this record. Man oh man.

ok i got time bomb high school and it is FUCKIN RAD

probably my favorite album of the year. just incredible.

If there's a better song this year than Stick Up For Me, I'd love to hear it. One of the great "screw the Man" songs.

love love love these guys... the one time i saw 'em, at SXSWa bunch of years ago, they closed with an *amazing cover of 'suspicious minds' - anyone know if they ever committed it to wax (or, even better, mp3)?

scroll down and DL at your leisure

TBHS is indeed a great starting place. But don't sleep on Break Up Break Down. very much in the vein of "Two Thieves" from Compulsive Gambler days and features a heartwrenching (& slightly menacing!) cover of the Everly's "So Sad." Goner recently put out a remastered version of it on vinyl (apparently the original release played at the wrong speed)

thanks a gogol, gear!

Yeah, Break Up Break Down & Home For Orphans are both great for the more country/folk/bummer-rock Gene Clarky side of the Reigning Sound.

"Broken Things" is such a brilliant pop song.

Man...I still remember seeing the Oblivions in the 7th St Entry on their tour for "Popular Favorites"...they did "Bad Man" and I swear it was like they were levitating a foot off the stage.

so wow it's been like 5 years since Too Much Guitar

& yep Home For Orphans is pretty much must-own imo

real shame about those dudes calling it quits

There's a Greg Cartwright-hosted radio show you can find as zips with a little digging - over 2 hours of music, he plays about 50 tracks from his 45's collection. Soul and old rockabilly, 60's garage, as you might expect. Pretty awesome.

"greg cartwright radio show" on google will bring it up

They are playing Sat afternoon in Hoboken at Maxwells as a WFMU benefit, also an opportunity to drink early.

jealous.

wish they'd commit their cover of 'suspicious minds' to vinyl one of these days. really loved his album with the parting gifts from late last year, too.

jealous too. from across the pond.

damn, need to see these guys again, so good live as well as on record. That "Stick Up For Me" tune is truly great. Original, apparently, here, by the Glass Sun: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3wbcZ3zf2g. Sounding very early Bob Seger-ish (like "2+2=?"), and sure enough they seem to have been from Ypsilanti, MI.
