[Editor's Note: I just checked, and it was November 24, 2005 when I got an e-mail from Ken saying "If you ever want someone to do a guest Idiot's Guide to: The Smiths, R.E.M. or Lloyd Cole, I'm your guy." He later went on to cover the Smiths for Jefitoblog -- and co-authored the Lemonheads guide last year -- but the Lloyd Cole guide has been our personal equivalent of the Anselmo case for many moons. Until now, that is.
Lloyd Cole has been releasing albums for damn near 25 years, and you probably haven't heard any of them -- which makes him a perfect Popdose Guides artist. Ken's done a fine job of making a case for Cole, so sit back, open your ears, and enjoy!]
