Funnily enough although I am a fan of Jonathan Richman’s solo work, I never really gravitated towards the The Modern Lovers album and although this 33 1/3 volume is ok, it did not reignite any deep appreciation.
Basically Maloney takes the title of a track on the Moder Lovers album, gives a brief description about it and veers off on a tangent about the history of the Modern Lovers. As I said before this volume is ok but not outstanding in anyway. There have been better books in the series focusing on the New York punk scene.
