'Walking in the pouring rain. Walking with Jesus and Jane...'
Lloyd Cole & The Commotions moved from Rattlesnakes to Easy Pieces. Brand New Friend and Lost Weekend kept them in The Hit Parade and on Top of the Pops I moved from idyllic gap year experience in Switzerland to idyllic first term at university. Lloyd Cole seemed like a fellow traveller to that experience as well as someone to aspire to.
You didn't really get the sense that he was laughing at himself and the type that he was and that you were. You just yearned for his bookcase and paperback shelf. His record collection. I was in he process of assembling both of mine. This is what I did between 17 and 25. Lloyd Cole & The Commotions were consistently placed to the front of the stacks.They were writing abou me.And the peolpe I knew.
