Thanks.<br />However, I must take issue with your take on Comet Gain. While I thought the “I Never Happened” ep was quite good, and that you hit on the respective merits of each track remarkably well, the rest of your review was WAY off. Comet Gain has been my favorite band for the past 8 years (I know – am I David Feck’s mother?), but I do not own, and will probably never own, City Fallen Leaves. What a disappointment that was after the revelation of Realistes! Meanwhile, “Herbert Huncke” wasn’t one of their best, but at least it was interesting. Perhaps you didn’t like it because it sounded, uh, “American”? (“No, not the slow version, we’re not f*ing Creedence yet.”) Yeah, if they put out the fast one that would be amazing.<br /><br />Oh, and I should add that it’s difficult for me to get through a Northern Portrait song because all I can think about is how shamelessly they’re aping the Smiths. Call me an idiot, ok, but we know the real *idiots* are those who don’t appreciate the Beatles as the font of all indiepop – there, I said it.<br /><br />Take care, and best wishes for 2011.<br /><br />MichaelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6853516.post-87609090261358352032011-01-07T15:23:06.994+00:002011-01-07T15:23:06.994+00:00Hi there,
