KING RALPH II: HEIR WE GO AGAIN releasing in theatres in 1998!
Andromeda Heights is probably their most “normal” album but that’s why I love it…just Paddy trying to make an immaculate pop album

The key to unlocking Andromeda Heights is “Weightless”
but it has to happen naturally…
One day it will start playing randomly and you will hear a distorted vocoder ask “Who is Yuri Gagarian?” and then the sexiest sax you’ve ever heard will start playing and you will say…

I Get It.

Based on his own disappointment with the music in the Socks the Cat (he had them shelve it because the soundtrack didn’t go hard enough)

Jeff knows where Nick Nightingale is

I can’t imagine how much material he has stored away. It doesn’t seem like he’s ever stopped writing and recording, he simply doesn’t release 98% of it. I’m not even sure what compels him to release what he does when he does it. He’s on Paddy time

It’s produced by Tony Visconti of all people!

Don’t know how else you end an old west concept album

It is funny to imagine Larry David’s face reading them

I got From Langley Park to Memphis for a $1! Used to see that one all the time in the cheap bins. Now people will put it in plastic and charge $20

You should put the Freud and Oedipus dust cover on whatever book you read because no one is gonna want to strike up a conversation based around that

I don’t know why but this sounded like a noir monologue in my head

DAMMIT again they deny me

NO NOSES

Why did I look to see what you were saying NOOO to…why…

Ahhhh I’m sorry that’s such a sad memory to have for what should have been a beautiful show

I was worried going into Bird Machine fearing it’d be really dark given it was his last recordings but it’s surprisingly sweet and beautiful. One song “O Child” written for his nephew knocked me out

Yeah that one hit me very hard. He made some of the most beautiful music you could ever hope to hear and had so much more to make. That final unexpected Sparklehorse album Bird Machine his family finished in 2023 was stunning. It genuinely felt like closure.

Why didn’t you let Bruce in…he was cold

At first I thought “Whoops” was the name of a movie I never heard of maybe a raunchy teen comedy starring Peter DeLuise
