Ooh, it's me again.

Did you purchase the Fleetwood Mac remaster?

And I was very tempted to post:

Oh No It's U Again



Ooops, I just did

Yes, I bought the remaster. Going to listen to it shortly. Outside of the greatest hits set, it's the only FM in my collection.

i love it... my favorite cracker cds are still "cracker," "kerosene hat" and "golden age," but this one ranks right up there with them... there's a little less hickman on this one than on others (he takes no lead vocals anywhere on the cd), but it doesn't really hinder the cd at all... musically they are all over the place... lyrically, lowery seems to be a little more depressed than usual, but there's still plenty of the sardonic and random lyrics that you expect from a cracker cd...

and catch them on tour if you can... i've seen them twice this year... once it was hickman and lowery acoustic and the other time it was the full band... i honestly don't know which show i liked better... they were smokin' for sure...

Stax said:

there's a dvd called "get on with it: the best of cracker" that has several music videos, as well as a show from the kerosene hat tour... worth picking up...

"golden age" is an overlooked album... a lot of critics didn't like it too much... they said it was either too dark or too rootsy... i enjoy it... "i hate my generation," "sweet thistle pie," "i'm a little rocket ship" and so many others... and my favorite "big dipper"... this was the cd that stayed in constant rotation during my depressing summer of 97... lol... and i got it autographed by david and johnny, so... but all in all, "golden age" may be my favorite... but most people go for "kerosene" and the self-titled... this new one is easily as good as either of those...

also worth seeking out is the collaboration they did with leftover salmon called "oh cracker, where art thou?"...

All of their CDs through Garage D'Or I have autographed.
Golden Age is indeed overlooked and one of my favorites, but if I'm being honest, I like them all in their own little ways. I'm excited to give Greenland a spin.

i envy your autograph collection... ... but i do have the 10'' uk pink marble vinyl of "low" autographed... ... both times i met lowery and hickman, i was surprised to find out how cool and grounded they were...

lemme know what you think about "greenland"... i can't imagine you not loving it... it really is good...

we should start our own group to educate people on the glorious wonderfulness that is "the golden age" though... it baffles me that this disc is always either overlooked or spoken poor of...

I've met them both several times and I think Hickman is a sweetheart. In fact, I've talked more to him than probably any 'rock star' on the planet. He's hugged me, been very gracious, and is SO easy to talk to, etc. Lowry's a little more of a tough nut to crack. I was honestly shaking the first time I talked to him and he seemed like he couldn't be bothered. Same thing for a Camper Van signing I went to.
ah well. He's still a lyrical genius.

I'll totally let you know what I think of Greenland. I'll be putting it in tonight.

If only they could release the "On stage and in the movies" album too, but i don`t think that will happen, apparently Warwick isn`t too pleased with the release of her old albums...
