Trag probably loves the pixies but they haven’t put out a good SOUNDING and well produced album to his liking so here we are.

Nah he doesn't like Frank Black's vocals. And we are well within our rights to fling poops at him for it.

I really love those Great American Songbook standards. I just don't think there's any other kind of music that moves me in the same way. It's at the perfect intersection of my two favorite genres -- pop and jazz! (yes I know it precedes either but I mean it exhibits attributes of both modern pop -- its catchiness, melodicism, structuredness, playfulness and emotion -- and jazz -- its richness, orchestration, and musical sophistication. Does that make sense?)

Anyway I'm sitting here really high and nearly driven to tears by "All Of Me"

Probably a good sign that you should get back into recording music. And if it already exists, forgiveness vs. permission and all that.

Did Gershwin ever do anything notably sad? Or is there another composer in a similar sonic space who did stuff that was sad, and maybe more spacious?

This is the stuff right here;

Going back to our 80's talk (sorry), but 'Always the Sun' by the Stranglers and 'She Drives Me Crazy' by Fine Young Cannibals are absolute bangers. The former I hadn't heard before. The latter is an unavoidable classic.

The Strangler's whole discography is quality, from the punk early days through the smoother/poppier later stuff. Really great band. I could do a hella good mix-tape for them.

You should probably go ahead and do that.

You'd never heard In the Wee Small Hours?!

I'd like to hear an instrumental version but I love his singing on it

It makes a great trilogy with Only the Lonely and Watertown

The essential sad-sack Frank. I'd reissue them together but using the incredible cover art for No One Cares, which qualifies thematically but isn't as good as the others
