rhythmaningThe was an article in yesterday's Guardian about the Modern Lovers, by Keith Gessen.
I remember their eponymous album first time round, when my brother bought it in 1976; I think he may even have seen Jonathon Richman play that year.
It is a classic album - recorded before Richman dumped the rest of the band and found his irritating whimsical style. The band got their own back - Jerry Harrison went on to join David Byrne in Talking Heads whilst David Robinson formed the Cars.
A piece of 1970s brilliance.
