Ola (Mylittleponys)'s Favourite Record: Rattlesnakes
In the run up to Record Store Day, we will be running a series of posts featuring various members of the Lazy Acre Family talking about their favourite records. This installment features Ola from MyLittlePony (who will be playing a live set this evening) talking about the awesome Lloyd Cole...
It's impossible to choose one record an say it's my favourite one. I can however choose one record and say that it's really good, and one of my favourite ones. I choose "Rattlesnakes" by Lloyd Cole and The Commotions. It was recommended to me by a professor when I studied litterature. Needless to say this was a very cool professor, and this record has stayed with me since.
It's just such a great example of intelligent simplicity, which in the end is what I think pop music might be all about. That and sensitivity, but that somehow comes a bit easier it seems.
Managing to be intelligent in a simple way. Lloyd Cole does that very well, and for every one who hasn't heard this album it's time to get into it, if nothing else just for the feeling of adding more debth when singing a long to fellow Glasgow band Camera Obscura's "Hey Lloyd, I'm Ready To Be Heartbroken"

Adam Gnade's Favourite Record: In an airplane over the sea
In the run up to Record Store Day, we will be running a series of posts featuring various members of the Lazy Acre Family talking about their favourite records. This installment features old boy Adam Gnade talking about Neutral Milk Hotel...
After the tape of the marching band music, Tom Carper plays a folk album written about Anne Frank. “So over the course of the record,” he says, leaning into the backseat and talking with his hands, “Anne Frank dies and then she’s reincarnated. There’s a two-headed boy who lives in a glass jar and he's building a radio for a girl he loves. The music's this big psychedelic brass band with everything all whirling and trumpets blaring and organs and accordions rising up from the fuzz. In the lyrics there are, like, all sorts of things—allusions to incest, tarot card imagery, a circus wheel, a dysfunctional family of anthropomorphic carrots.”
Sounds like a mess,” Aaron says, staring out the window at Irvine passing by—the palm trees and cars, the blue sky and telephone lines. He slouches down in his seat and sips his bottle of Coors. “I don't think I get it. Maybe the speakers just suck.”
“No, but it's more than... I dunno... more than the sum of a bunch of old-timey carnival imagery. The singer—he's saying something. It isn't some love me, love me, saaaay that you love me bullshit.”
Tom Carper's voice drones in and out, disappearing beneath the music, coming in through the quiet spots, arching above the road noise. It's like the tape of the marching band music—there, but not there.
They pass by a car lot on the side of the road with rows of colorful plastic triangle flags flapping in the breeze and the singer sings, What a beautiful face I have found in this place that is circling all 'round the sun. And when we meet on a cloud I'll be laughing out loud; I'll be laughing with everyone I see... can't believe... how strange it is to be anything at all!
“Like that,” Tom Carper says, looking back at them, and straining against his seatbelt. “That sort of stuff. Just listen to the lyrics. Pay attention to everything.”

Solvor Vermeer's Favourite Record: ..And She Closed Her Eyes
In the run up to Record Store Day, we will be running a series of posts featuring various members of the Lazy Acre Family talking about their favourite records. This installment features Solvor Vermeer talking about Stina Nordenstam...
This CD was given to me by a dear friend the winter of 2004 and was the start of something new. Track 3 and 6 are my favorites and whenever I hear them I'm dragged back to that time of my life. I remember how my old room smelled, what the parking lot under my window sounded like in the morning and the feeling of the sun shining through my window since I didn't have any curtains.
For me, his record was the beginning of a whole new way of going about music. If my house was on fire and I could only rescue 10 CD's this would be one of them
