pantsandsocks Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 What is Lou Barlow's stuff like? I was tempted to just buy it, because the cover looked good, but thought I'd better have an ask around and see what people were saying...

Guest Mr Blastcap Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 awesome it took me a while to get round to it but i got this cd. its pretty good, not a patch on the j. lowenstien effort. Barlow on his own can get a bit gay, ballad of daykitty is all about a kitten.......yuk. i reckon arcade projects should make sebadoh paly Aberdeen, that would be neat-oh.

mmd040 Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 I saw Lou Barlow at the Tanned Tin festival in November. It was the first time I'd heard his solo stuf and I really enjoyed it. So I may just check this album out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
