Lydia Loveless | Somewhere Else

  Last night I went to a show where a hardcore band opened. A few minutes into their set I started to ask myself a few questions? Am I too old for this? Was Hardcore always this terrible? Have I just been limiting my musical tastes to a few select genres lately? I’m guessing there is…

Holy shit what a mouthful of a title. That aside, this is easily Neko Case’s easiest album to get into. Easy. Maybe not the best, but for having one of the most blow-people -out-of-the-water-voices, some of her earlier stuff is really not that accessible. I mean, maybe if you’re really into old school Loretta Lynn…
