New Roman Times
Unbeknownst to me, Camper Van Beethoven is releasing a new album on October 12. It's a rock opera, apparently.
Key Lime Pie, their last album, was one of my favorite albums when it came out in 1989; I rediscovered it at one point in the last year or two, and it sounds even better now. "All her Favorite Fruit" is one of the great, creepy obsession songs. "When I Win the Lottery," "June," etc. I can't wholeheartedly recommend any of their other albums (Our Beloved Revolutionary Sweetheart is my second favorite; their full album cover of Fleetwood Mac's Tusk has a novel air about it, the title track is great), and Cracker never did much for me, but there you go.
