Saw Rockpile at the so-called Punk Woodstock called Heatwave in Toronto in 1980, picked up and loved Labour of Lust, then lost track of him as well, but as I fashioned myself a mod, always kept him on my radar. Caught back up with Dig My Mood, which fit my own more relaxed mode and mood, and now I see from your list I have many many gaps to fill in my love of Lowe.<br><br>Thanks much. Bravo!

Very nice guide. I'm glad you appreciate his later output. I think from the Impossible Bird on is his best stuff, especially Convincer.

I do want to take issue with you calling All Men Are Liars trifle though, I don't have much to say in rebuttal other than I just really like it; I think it's funny and catchy and the refrain is really good. I've only heard the live version that I recently got from maybe this site? It was an acoustic live show. Actually come to think of it, it may have been an NPR thing. Point is I think it's really good.

And for anyone that did not know, he is touring once again I guess in support of At My Age still. I'm broke as a crap but I'm going to do my damndest to see him since I missed him the first time.

Unfortunately, as everyone (myself included) went nuts for Mr. McManus' latest and greatest, we kinda lost touch with Lowe. <br><br>That said, I argue that "Cruel To Be Kind" is damn near perfect pop. It's hooks are dynamite and never become unwelcome, unlike a lot of the same from other bands of the time.
