Jay Bennett's new album

[Scott Gyrrr]

I like quite a number of these songs. Could have laid off of the compression on the vox though.

I would be lying if I said I wasn't pleasantly surprised by this album...

[dondoboy]

I'd be lying if I said I liked it. Particularly his over-affected voice.

[pillowy star]

I like the album very much, and I mean very much, but what I find seriously disturbing and kind of off-putting is that he had to go and mention "Pillowy Stars" as well as "Cracked Door Moons" in "Little Blue Pills". Kind of a cheap shot if you ask me, and totally unworthy of his undoubtful talent.

maybe he initially helped with/penned that line in collaboration?

 

guess we'll never know

 

does seem weird otherwise tho

[pillowy star]

Yes I thought he might have been involved in this particular lyric and therefore think he somehow owns the rights to use it, but still, it is a very distinctive phrase that you unlike e.g. "this and that" won't find anywhere else, and definitely can't "just" write it accidentally, so yes, it seems odd and uncalled for IMHO.

[Guest Rufer]

If I remember correct, many of the lyrics for She's a Jar were the product of an exercise where a notebook was stationed at the back of their bus and anyone in the band could write a line but only see the previous line written. The writer then would cover up the line they responded to for the next contributor to respond to theirs.

 

I think I remember something like that.

 

I really like this Jay Bennett album though. Just checking it out for the first time.
