Now Playing @ Nothing Manor: Train - Train (1998). I’m sorry if you love Train, but this is really the only album of theirs I truly love. I’d describe it more like Southern fried AAA rock rather than the more pop-oriented albums that follow. Nice, modern twist pre-2k. #music #nowplaying

Now Playing @ Nothing Manor: Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros - Global a Go-Go (2001). Joe’s just a fantastic musical presence and this album is him through and through. Great groove from top to bottom. #music #nowplaying

Now Playing @ Nothing Manor: The Smithereens Play Tommy (2009). Who doesn’t love The Who and I adore The Smithereens. With the latter playing the entire “Tommy” album by the former, it’s a match made in musical heaven! #music #nowplaying

Now Playing @ Nothing Manor: It Bites - Eat Me in St. Louis (1989). Having just finished some Frank, I thought I’d put on his old bands 3rd and final album. It Bites would usher in the Neo-Prog Rock era with strong power pop vibes. #music #nowplaying

Now Playing @ Nothing Manor: Francis Dunnery - Lets Go Do What Happens (1998). I was living in Vermont at the time, heard this on The Point FM, and drove from Eden to Williston to buy this album on cassette. #music #nowplaying
