Neil Halstead (Mojave 3 / Slowdive) - Jammin' Java *ROL

[Jaguar]

You know, I just remembered something. An acquaintance of mine's band just opened some shows in the UK for Jack Johnson. Neil Halstead may have been on the bill too but don't remember. I was appalled yet happy for my friend. What the Hell is Jack doing with the Gazers!? This is kind of scary.

maybe he had a recent traumatic experience in his life that he just can't shake, and making boring-ass pop music for yuppies isn't cutting it anymore. or maybe he got his hands on some real heavy chronic and started questioning his identity. pretty soon he's gonna get all sludge-metal on us!

I really enjoyed Neil's first solo album too.  'Puzzles Like You' was a little...  mainstream pop for my tastes.  If I didn't have to deal with a broken alternator I would be at the show.  It would be great if Rachel Goswell ever toured - I dig that record of hers.

puzzles like you really grew on me. some of it is really poppy, but in a good way. the goswell solo albums is good, but there's one song on there that could be on the OC or something. i skip that one!

Funny, I totally expected you to have the complete OC box set on dvd and a lifetime subscription to Paste.

Anyone make it out to the show last night??

lack of funds and work overload prevented me from going. so i still don't know if halstead is in the process of selling out.
