I usually don't complain about this sort of thing, but seriously-- who the hell greenlit this?

I'd rather listen to 4 hours of this:

That wouldn't make you a shallow person, would it?

Someone with taste.

If only there were a Fark tab for audio entertainment so that those of us looking for cute cats and ball shots wouldn't have to sift through MTV detritus....

I turned it off after 10 seconds, so someone explain to me what physical attraction I missed?

You mean like this?

Kind of lame, kind of silly. A link for strange people.

I'm listening to Captain Beefheart, so who am I to judge; except that the song style was somewhat lame jazz, and Bright Eyes-esque sensitivity. I think.

I can't tell if the thing is meant to be satirical/absurd or just pretty lame.

You got me.

Same as most Lyle Lovett records - it was designed to make Nashville music executives' heads asplode. A good thing, considering how they've short-changed authentic talents from Johnny Cash on down.

I sensed some background. Thanks Gulper Eel.

Big Lyle Lovett fan, always did like this song, but after I bought the CD and laughed at it a few times, I admit to skipping straight from "The Blues Walk" to "Cryin' Shame."

I love this.

But I tend to love the things on the music link that everyone else hates.

 
mfaby 2008-07-08 08:47:03 PM  
Too bad all you haters dont appreciate talent.

Great song, excellent band and true American music.

Plus Lyle has the added advantage of having boned Julia Roberts, often and repeatedly.

Scoff all you want NOW, but back in the day she was a fine piece.
Couldn't act then and cant act now but she's fairly easy on the eyes.

I saw 30 seconds of ugly people. What has that atonal howling got to do with physical attraction?

 
tillerman35 2008-07-08 11:33:22 PM  
I'd never heard a Lyle Lovett song before. I like it!

Note to self: Buy Album. Soon.
Question to Farkers: Uh, which album should I buy?

Classic.
Great link.
Everything I hear from this man makes me want to hear more.

The Road To Ensenada was my first Lyle Lovett cd. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Joshua Judges Ruth is likely his most accessible. Not to say his other stuff *isn't*, but JJR has some great hooks.

I started with Pontiac, then Lyle Lovett and His Large Band. Either one's a good start. You'll want more after that.

And fark Lyle Lovett, whoever the fark that is

 
Punk Guy 2008-07-09 05:04:41 PM  
I'm a big fan of I Love Everybody. Creeps Like Me and Fat Babies are great songs.

 
Rent Party 2008-07-10 01:15:14 AM  
This album only came out like, 20 years or so ago.

I bought it on tape.

/ Great album
