David's Random Stuff: It's OK To Like Nick Lowe

Monday, March 24, 2008

Especially since today is his birthday. Nick Lowe is The Man. Check out this live video of his song "So It Goes" (with Rockpile) if you need proof.

Gentleman Jesse and his Men from the ATL appropriated the guitar riff to amazing results. Check them out if they ever come to your town.

At 10:36 AM, David said...: Then Jesse could die a happy man! Open for Wreckless Eric - check; Jonathan Richman - check; Nick Lowe - ?. And then maybe Bryan would get his freaking album out! Black and Whites album is awesome btw!

At 6:19 PM, Anonymous said...: Why wouldn't it be OK to like Nick Lowe? I never suspected it wasn't.
At 7:53 PM, David said...: Ha. My friend Jesse in Atlanta (see post/ comments) used to wear a button all the time that said "It's OK to like Nick Lowe." Hence the title. It is in fact more than OK to like Nick Lowe. It should be mandatory.
At 7:53 PM, David said...: I am guessing at least ONE Carbona doesn't come back. Did one of the guitar guys leave?
At 11:19 AM, Anonymous said...: Yep, not sure which one left but apparently suddenly and without explanation...
