There is a genre that I am going to call "College Radio". Every college/university has their own radio station manned by students that are taking communications or broadcasting classes. I have listened to stations like that in the past and they can be very interesting to listen to. No matter the genre or the programming for any specific block of time they are always playing the more obscure albums/songs/artists. Frank Black is definitely college radio material. Now thats not a bad thing. There is a lot of music that finds a home on these stations and can get a lot of air play. In fact one of my favorite albums of all time "Violent Femmes" is made for college radio.As for this album, it's not going to become one of my all time favorites, but I did enjoy listening to it. The songs were kind of quirky, definitely obscure, none really designed for Top-40 radio, but thats ok. Many many artist make music for arts sake and don't care for a second about chart success.
"Freedom Rock"
Tomorrow's Album #788 Elastica - Elastica
