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.

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.

You'll see that I didn't follow that standard for all Nick's records, but when re-posting this guide, I clipped out the ones you mentioned, erased the link code from the post...and then didn't save it. It should be updated now. Thanks for pointing out those busted links, Mr. Gee — this guide originally ran back in the days before I tried to keep everything down to a two-mp3-per-album limit.
