Rob Dickinson - My Name Is Love

[SyrupBoy]

Supposedly going for adds this week...first single from his solo debut Fresh Wine For The Horses. I heard this on WEQX last week. Very cool song.

For those not familiar, Rob was/is/might-still-be frontman for the tragically underrated UK band Catherine Wheel. CW have been officially "parked" since 2000. What this means is anyone's guess.

Anyway, I expect this song to do nothing on alternative radio, but it's nice to see at least one station playing it. Even if they're not on the R&R panel.

Well, Sanctuary isn't a record label to launch a career from exactly. He appeared on "Life Begins Again" by Jimmy Chamberlin Complex, and while that did end up on a few radio stations, it didn't do anything.

That being said, I could picture this being closer to "radio" material than Chamberlin's stuff.

When I was watching the Battle for Ozzfest finale in January and A Dozen Furies won a recording contract from Sanctuary, I cringed. But, so far, they seem to be doing just as good a job as anyone else would probably be doing with them, so good.

This song is seeming less cool with repeated listens. Probably a better fit for AAA than alternative. Of course, I thought the same about the entire Wishville album, so I shouldn't be too surprised.

I still can't wait to get the disc though, as two of the songs are apparently reworked versions of the fabled 'Sparks Are Gonna Fly' b-sides that have never seen the light of day. If you're a Catherine Wheel fan, you should know exactly what I'm on about. If not...you should be!

Rob did an interview/acoustic set on KCRW this morning. Video of the entire performance is posted at their website:

Extremely cool.
