I have to say I find Lidell far more entertaining and engaging live, than on record, and it was great to experience him live in NYC.

i’ve found his albums pretty unengaging in comparison to, well, this 9 minute clip – despite being very “accomplished”, particularly jim. but the new one sounds so MOR to me that its like he’s got blinkers on angling for the feist crowd, but thats probably simply the most cynical way of looking at it! i definitely hope he comes back to melbourne so i can see it happen in person, see some more risky business.

good to have you back…
