Comment on Classic and Unappreciated: Small Factory’s For If You Cannot Fly (Part Two, Side Two) by Jonathan slade

I was living in providence when small factory rose to almost cult-like admiration in that city. They were a ray of pop sunshine in a bleak run down shithole of a music scene. My friends and I would spin their vinyl 45 singles over and over again, each listen of ” lucille”, ” giant merry go round”, and ” suggestions” convincing us more assuredly that somehow our lives could be as sweet and sunny as the world their songs created. This didn’t last of course. The band drifted toward a hopeless and bleak style and the inevitable car crash ending was evident years before it actually happened. But if anyone truly wants to hear what a dream deferred sounds like, listen to ” for if you cannot…”. It’s a completely honest, open wound. A great band’s last grasp at existence.

See, I really love Connor’s flow. He’s great. You might be right, though. Maybe some of these beats will grow on me.

[...] was certainly plenty of sighing on Van Etten’s previous record Epic, which I enjoy as much as ever. But I enjoy it largely because, aside from Van Etten’s pipes and some really good songs, [...]

Mr. Cohen is more than just a legendary musical artist. He’s an inspiration. A role model. A hero. A work of art. One of the last threads of a musical gentleman that we are still holding onto. I think a revolution could form in Leonard’s name. An attempt to regain what was once considered great music. Rejoice, friends, let’s cherish this great man’s career and his ability to put out a brand new album that will claim a place on the shelf next to his antique LP’s.
