A Song For Your Ears (Inaugural Shuffle Saturday Edition)?
“Love’s Got a Lot to Answer For”
Nick Lowe
At My Age [2006]

What do you think of this song?
Love? Hate? Indifference?
Somewhere in between?
In order to post songs that probably wouldn’t come to mind (or perhaps out of laziness), I’m starting Shuffle Saturdays…. the first song to pop up when I put my iTunes library through shuffle (now called iTunes DJ, but sorry, Apple, I’m just not that into you).
Nick Lowe was influential on the punk and post-punk movements. A producer and songwriter for The Damned and Elvis Costello among others. He also released his own solo masterpiece (reissued within the last two years) The Jesus of Cool.
At My Age was, while still D.I.Y. with odd wit, and tales of regrettable romance, more introspective while retaining Lowe’s unpretentious, everyman tone.
Song 160 in a series.
Archive – wonders where this will take us.

don’t forget that nick was involved in music before punk, with brinsley schwarz and rockpile.
having the first single on stiff records cements his place in history, though
not bad at all, that tune
for those that don’t know the man at all, here are the hits:
cruel to be kind
