types of music in their eclectic live set. All of the band are
accomplished musicians and writers in their own right and they

Extremely Cool
(1999) |
Chuck E. Weiss
Immortalized forever in
Rickie Lee Jones's 1979
hit "Chuck E.'s in Love," Chuck E. Weiss has had his own career
playing the drums and singing in a craggly blues voice that
recalls his more famous buddy Tom Waits,
who provides production, vocal, and songwriting assistance. For
years, however, he never made it beyond the confines of Los
Angeles nightclubs. Here he's assembled an album of freewheeling
bar tunes and jump blues that recall the music of his youth with
fresh irreverence. "Devil with Blue Suede Shoes" is ramshackle
back-alley Chicago blues. "It Rains on Me" offers Waits and
Weiss singing like old drunken buddies after closing time. It's
what you'd expect, yet couldn't conceive.

File Under Easy listening
(1994) |
Sugar
FILE UNDER: EASY LISTENING
has its fun and playful moments -- the allegorical "Gee Angel"
and the satirical "Granny Cool" -- and a few surreal, poetic
respites such as "Panama City Motel." But, ultimately, the album
deals in the hard-won, cathartic rewards found in
heart-wrenching tunes like "Can't Help You Anymore" and "Believe
What You're Saying." Mould masterfully interweaves acoustic and
electric guitar textures over Barbe and Travis' sturdy rhythmic
foundation, until his tortured vocals are engulfed by waves of
distortion and stinging lead lines on the final cut, "Explode and
Make Up."
