Yeah, I never regret checking in with them. It's always kind of great, and charming but it's not all memorable.

I was deeply into the Mountain Goats up until Get Lonely.

Smog/Bill Callahan up to Apocalypse

I quit on Will Oldham after I See A Darkness. Not sure why. He’s done some great stuff since.

I will never quit on David Grubbs. I’m always interested in anything he does.

Coldplay after A Rush of Blood to the Head

Glorious. This nearly had coffee out my nose.

I haven’t listened to anything Skrewdriver has released since the first album.

Ah yes, the Sophomore Slump that many bands are unable to escape.

They haven't released much since they put the lack of brakes on the project. Ian Stuart was recently joined by his fellow Brit, Ian Watkins.

Ramones after Road to Ruin. (Although at one point, I owned everything up thru Brain Drain. But I barely listened to any of those, except for maybe Too Tough to Die and Animal Boy. And even those were patchy at best. Sold 'em all off decades ago.)
