Indeed. Yes. Indeed.
So it was on this date in 2017 that the world lost Tommy Keene.
He's someone that nobody I've ever known had a single bad thing to say about.
The world is a lesser place for his passing.
On this 12" you get a side of what made him a Power Pop icon backed with a couple of live covers. First a reasonable stab at Roxy Music and then a Rolling Stones cover from their last listenable record.
Enjoy and pour a glass of something nice for Tommy.
I was lucky enough to see him open for Matthew Sweet, just a few months before he passed. I discovered Tommy in the mid-90s, and fell immediately in love with his music. So sad that he's gone. At least he left behind an amazing body of work. Time to fire up some Tommy Keene...
ReplyDeleteThanks for ripping this. Those covers had gotten stranded over the years. Dug out my vinyl recently for a fresh listen but good to have handy versions.
