Dando: Hipster or Hippy?

Post by clairequilty »

I happen to be of the op that Dando is a brilliant songwriter, but he seems so overlooked. I'd be interested in others' opinions.

I think Evan has his ups and downs but occasionally is a very good songwriter indeed.
I am not completely familiar with his whole catalogue, but It's A Shame About Ray and Come On Feel The Lemonheads are both excellent records.
Are his recent solo outings any good ?

Anyone who writes stuff like "If I was a booger, would you pick your nose?" is OK in my book. And he's a good interpreter of others' material too. "Sam Stone" is a favourite.

I think his solo Baby Im Bored is great.

Also, if you don't have Car Button Cloth, the last Lemonheads disc, I'd strongly suggest it. I think it's by far his best.

How about Julianan Hatfield and The Blake Babies?

Well that's another story all together, isn't it?

As soon as there are more than 10 responses to the Evan poll, then we'll worry 'bout Juliana.
