Totally underappreciated. I've seen him live and acoustic twice, this year and last, he is so masterful on the guitar. I was a fan 30 years ago and my appreciation just gets stronger.
Yeah, me too Julia. 30 years ago then, now and today! Lloyd has, and is a part of my life and history from listening to his records to playing covers of Perfect Skin in our band. The man is a Genius. xox
Lloyd Cole is an absolute treasure and a huge inspiration. The guy is a genius. Songs he did 37 years ago I'll never forget and it's the only reason I'm here now. "Easy Pieces"
A GEM. Rattlesnakes is still in my all time top ten albums - jostling with The Smiths, The Specials, Beck, Massive Attack and Elvis C. Such a special guy - and so real: he signed my album with no fuss at all post-show here in NZ in 2014. If you want an intimate live performance experience with charm and killer songs, go see Lloyd and his band.
I'm British and want to reclaim him! Seriously, when he's around in England, I'm not the only one who seeks out the gigs. I've seen him about 10 times - hope he comes and sings in the North-West again soon. Still remember Hebden Bridge (my home town). I've been a dyed-in the-wool fan since I was 16. He's still got it...
You want to leave me, baby, be my guest All I'm going to do is cry And then I'm gonna find me someone else And tear the stars out of the sky Looking for something when there's nothing there to be found Make it easy on yourself Go out and find your body someone else Or tear the stars out of the sky Baby you're too well read Baby you're too well spoken Baby you're too pristine When I cry, do you feel anything? Baby you're too well read You want to leave me, baby, be my guest All I'm going to do is cry And then I'm gonna find me someone else And tear the stars out of the sky Baby you're too well read Baby you're too well spoken Baby you're far too clean When I cry, do you feel anything? Baby you're too well read You don't need me anymore You don't need me anymore They say storms are rife for summertime Well baby, I'm long gone What are you going to do when you open your eyes It's a brand new day and baby No blue skies? ua-cam.com/video/YH74tgueBJY/v-deo.html
He was so kind to me upon meeting him after a concert in Chicago. So soft spoken and so grateful for my attendance to his concert. I was deeply touched...
His music was an essential part of my 80s youth. I can remember staying up all night with a girl named Charlotte listening the Rattlesnakes record over and over. Sweet memories.
Dylan Lundgren your paps is prolly gonna be disappointed that his son is really a ladyboy that gives head for five dollars. He prolly wished that he never fondled you when you were young. But you had perfect skin so how could he resist? Amirite?
Some of the best live shows I saw in the 80's were Lloyd Cole and the Commotions. Still listening 30+ years on. Too bad radio doesn't play him more often. The song "Rattlesnakes" would be in MY top 100 songs of my lifetime.
1985 and 19 years old. Driving down the west coast of Victoria with my glittering prize next to me. The tape stretching a little more every time we played it.
I like how British musicians can be serious and calm, and American musicians always seem to be yakking and screaming and yukking it up. Its refeshing - to see a man who can just be himself, and be intelligent. Love Lloyd for many years.. just brilliant.
That was a real treat, thank you so much and thank you Lloyd... I live in Brisbane Queensland Australia and we booked our tickets today for Lloyd's Concert here in Brissy on the 15th December! Can't Wait!! Bring its on, Rattle Snakes and all!! Love, Ashley. x
I knew My Bag with The Commotions and then The New York album. Absolutely brilliant songs, beautiful voice and wonderful guitar licks and original. Love him. Hey Lloyd ! Big shout from Dakar Senegal 🇸🇳 west Africa ❤️❤️❤️ a fan of you. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
I love this intreview, and how Lloyd is performing, and the amazing interaction between you, Cheryl and Lloyd. Just feeling so nice. I am coming back to this clip, and I will now and then. Thank you Cheryl, and you Lloyd. Brilliant!
I work sometimes where this chap grew up, often think of some songs when im working in or driving through chapel. Good stuff and a great artist! And from what i hear a great bloke as well :)
Love you so much! Thank you for this great acoustic session. Tes chansons sont aussi un peu les miennes. Que de souvenirs et d'émotions...et quelle voix Lloyd! Merci. Sylvie
@@Schlatman - Guesswork is in tied with DIIV - Deceiver for album of the year. 2 totally different artists and records, but they're the 2 best so far in 2019.
I discovered him when I worked in an Independent Bookstore in the early 90's! The Manager was really cool 😎! He was in rotation with Bands like Yellow Kate Bush They Might be Giants! Pre Fab Sprouts He was my favorite! Still is! Someone more recent who reminds me of him a little bit would be Damien Jurado! Love Everything Trying!
Lloyd Cole is one of my favourite song writers he needs an award like Dylan Just as good in a different way , poet , wordsmith with rhythm...... Musician , and humble man .
I love him. Saw him twice in Concert and his voice is marvellous. I remember the first time he was in shock that so many people loved him in Portugal. He's great.
You can always rely on KEXP for getting artists like Lloyd Cole and Robyn Hitchcock on the show, it baffles me how UK stations don't give as much love for these artists as our friends over the pond do
I saw him as LCATC, he was so cool just a young dude, stopped the show after a guy got pulled off stage for dancing, he stopped and told the security he can stay, dancing is cool where I come from.... Great moment.
Well I say bands, but: Ian McCulloch (Mainly drunken ramblings with just a few songs inbetween); Blancmange (Only 1 of 2 left) and very dark (More Noirmange) ... Actually Wedding Present were still alive and kicking strongly and Lloyd Cole was just fantastic.

Totally agree with you Julia. I still listen to the commotions in the car regularly. Really shame they split. Glad he's still producing though
No, he was awesome in 1983. C’mon. Love you Lloyd…

You want to leave me, baby, be my guest

And tear the stars out of the sky
Looking for something when there's nothing there to be found
Make it easy on yourself
Go out and find your body someone else
Or tear the stars out of the sky
Baby you're too well read
Baby you're too well spoken
Baby you're too pristine
When I cry, do you feel anything?

Baby you're too well read
You don't need me anymore
You don't need me anymore

Well baby, I'm long gone
What are you going to do when you open your eyes
It's a brand new day and baby

@@oppothumbs1 I mean who can write a song about a 'bag' and make it work so well. Genius
Lloyd is a genius. So many years, so many miles, so many memories associated with his music. Thank you, KEXP, for this.
He was so kind to me upon meeting him after a concert in Chicago. So soft spoken and so grateful for my attendance to his concert. I was deeply touched...
The commotions made him.
Unbelievable - his voice is still there! His music helped me through many 'down' periods. I still sing his songs in my happy as well as sad days.
His music was an essential part of my 80s youth. I can remember staying up all night with a girl named Charlotte listening the Rattlesnakes record over and over. Sweet memories.
you sound like my paps haha one day ill listen to rattlesnakes all night long with a girl named charlotte !
Dylan Lundgren your paps is prolly gonna be disappointed that his son is really a ladyboy that gives head for five dollars. He prolly wished that he never fondled you when you were young. But you had perfect skin so how could he resist? Amirite?
Yes we need songwriters. They are rare form bravo Loyd ! bravo! standing ovation!
Beautiful voice, lovely songs! Thank you
Thank you. I bought his first album when it came out. Still holds up. Cheers ;)

It would be in my top 5😊
He's such a fantastic artist.
I think this is one of the best performances on KEXP.
Highly recommanded.
Sweet Lloyd, thank you for coming to Chicago, years ago. Bless you and your sweet voice and undeniable melodies... you're gorgeous all around.
Fan since 1983. His songs have taken me to endless journeys.
What a lovely interview. Knowledgeable host, a fan, but not overly sycophantic. And that guitar sounded great.
I still have vinyl records buyed in 80's, with the commotions, without them, always great!
Thanks for this; I enjoyed it so much! Have always loved Lloyd Cole and these days feel quite sentimental about him...he's wonderful!
Excelente voz, escutei muito na minha adolescência!

Thank you so much for your music, Lloyd.
I really wish he had had more exposure. I saw him in the mid-Nineties, at a small club. Wonderful show!
One of my all-time favorites.
MINE TOO,I BOUGHT RATTLESNAKES ALBUM LATE 1984,THEN EASY PIECES AND MAINSTREAM. STILL IN MY TOP 5.
LloYd Cole. Man i love your music !!
Lovely music to my ears
I knew My Bag with The Commotions and then The New York album. Absolutely brilliant songs, beautiful voice and wonderful guitar licks and original. Love him.

Cant wait to see you next month in Seattle! Seriously something I look forward to every year.
Excellent Guitar work.
J'adore ! My friends offered me a tape of him for my eighteenth birthday. I'm 48 now and still number one on my play list.

In love since 1984❤😊❤😊
He will always be in my lifetime TOP 10. Are you ready to be heartbroken? I was, because of your music.
WOW....What a find! Thanks for this post.
I gotta say I came here for Lloyd Cole, but this lassie interviewing him is absolute quality. Great interview
I work sometimes where this chap grew up, often think of some songs when im working in or driving through chapel. Good stuff and a great artist! And from what i hear a great bloke as well :)
Love you so much! Thank you for this great acoustic session. Tes chansons sont aussi un peu les miennes. Que de souvenirs et d'émotions...et quelle voix Lloyd! Merci. Sylvie
Just bloody awesome he is really in the music when he sings...and really heartfelt lyrics
Stumbled upon this quite by accident. Lloyd Cole is criminally under-appreciated, at the expense of us all.
Agree. He just released a beautiful new album 'Guesswork': open.spotify.com/album/1YfRWjGSQEfuUgv9xSgYis?si=mRai_b9wRRarDS0V2gY2ZA

Listening to this always does the trick with my insomnia!
Lloyd is a great songwriter.
Les années passent... la pécision et la justesse sont toujours là . Belle séssion folk .
the guys a genies love his music
...we simply waste the precious time...
Thank you Lloyd, for all.

Just as good in a different way , poet , wordsmith with rhythm......
Musician , and humble man .
What a great talk and interview.
And Cole being Cole. Brilliant song set.

Great artist, great songwriter, great guitar sound, great voice...
Just perfect!
Fabulous!
amazing
Brilliant cross genre songwriter. And he makes experimental music. A legend. Been singing to his tune for 30 years
only the few have truly known Lloyd Cole ...as I smile... "Peace"
Thanks,Cole.
THE COMMOTION STARTS WITH COLE !
Great!!!!
Musicista piacevole, elegante , raffinato.
I love this music❤️😍
I love the LC and the Commotions, but his solo work with the late Robert Quine was also top notch..
Lloyd continua simplesmente fantástico. Great
So so good
I'm kicking myself now for not going to see him when he came to my city a few years ago. Oh well. Such a humble but brilliant performer.
Wonderfulllllllllllll
Underated singer
Very cool.
Nice one
Why isn't this genius talent a household name?
Rattlesnake helped me living and still does
Fascinating.
pretty nice stuff..he always is class.
Je découvre un type simple, gentil. Une voix qui lui ressemble, profonde et sans une once d'artifice. Que voilà un artiste attirant.
An intelligence of a certain kind really shines through here.
Love him!
You can always rely on KEXP for getting artists like Lloyd Cole and Robyn Hitchcock on the show, it baffles me how UK stations don't give as much love for these artists as our friends over the pond do
Lloyd cole lo mejor que escuchar por las mañanas
I saw him as LCATC, he was so cool just a young dude, stopped the show after a guy got pulled off stage for dancing, he stopped and told the security he can stay, dancing is cool where I come from.... Great moment.
8'02 is delightful--- Cheryl made Lloyd laugh spontaneously. Well done. She's a great interviewer.
love this. why don't u come to Paris soon ?
Fucking great stuff Mr Cole.
Bloody hell Lloyd yer made a hard man cry.
I love it
Have recently seen live a few bands I used to follow back then. Disappointed with all, except a solo acoustic set from LC. Sinply sublime.
Which ones? Why disappointed, lots of "replacement" members?
Well I say bands, but: Ian McCulloch (Mainly drunken ramblings with just a few songs inbetween); Blancmange (Only 1 of 2 left) and very dark (More Noirmange) ... Actually Wedding Present were still alive and kicking strongly and Lloyd Cole was just fantastic.
