Lloyd Cole - Downtown

[@wobble108]

One of my all time favourites of Coles perfectly arranged great harmonica.

[@tednorton5150]

that layering of Hammond into the harmonica notes is really singular. don't think I've ever heard it anywhere else.

[@tricatfilms6136]

I've loved this movie for so long, just found out there's a freakin' music video!??? YES, high five

[@edwardduarte7393]

There is a black and white version of this song. It's basically a prostitute and pimp story. The editing is fantastic. It was probably a NYU film student.

[@vsander09]

The video for Skinny Puppy’s “Who’s Laughing Now” also heavily features scenes from the movie. If u don’t know, it’s the weird industrial song when they’re in the underground club.

[@leavingitblank9363]

What's the film?

[@WithoutRemorse12]

Bad Influence is a really great Neo Noir from the early 90s.

[@devotedrecords8038]

Seem to remember it getting panned by critics, but a friend viewed it recently said it was good, and he don't waste time with shite films.

[@leavingitblank9363]

@@devotedrecords8038 I wonder how much that had to do with the two stars being part of the Brat Pack. Andrew McCarthy has put out a documentary about the Brat Pack and what it meant being part of it. They were sort of vilified at their peak. No one wanted to like anything they did. (Then again, the director thought the movie was unfairly impacted because "it coincided with that ridiculous Rob Lowe videotape scandal".)

[@devotedrecords8038]

Yeah, you are probably right 😂

[@devotedrecords8038]

Will have to have a look at that documentary,when I get a minute 👍

Underrated movie….Lowe, Spader, Cole, Living Legends.

[@joericci4094]

True CLASSIC here!!!

Great tune a great movie. RIP Curtis Hanson.

Julie you nailed

[@mgparis]

Seeing Lloyd live in a couple of days, I can't wait!

[@kornofulgur]

How was it lucky you?

[@mgparis]

@@kornofulgur It was very good, but honestly I was crushed that he didn't sing "Lost Weekend" or "My Bag", which he'd always sang in concerts before and are big favourites of mine... That, and the drunk guy in front of me constantly gesturing and grunting, made for an experience that wasn't the best concert of his I'd ever attended

[@TheRichie1004]

Great song from great artist!

[@robin9126]

Noone could frown with such angst quite like LLoyd at that time.........

[@adamkovynia]

I got this soundtrack just recently because I love the movie so much. Great song!

[@jeanvuvu6900]

Lloyd Cole songs make me melancholic and happy, As l am since kid ...

[@sasicmirko]

What a great stuff ! Smacks of the 80s !

[@1MNUTZ]

This song is pretty damn good

[@dzapiwa]

So incredibly handsome. Even more now. I always knew Lloyd would just get better and better looking. Amazing incredible artist and guy! If only, will keep just dreaming. Thank you Lloyd. 🙏

[@oppothumbs1]

You can't be much more ignored than Lloyd Cole. After the Commotion, his first two solo records were stunning and probably more records were but I didn't keep up. "They're robbing your boots when they give you a shoe shine" . Baby, music fans are not too well read, not too pristine, and they're looking for something cheesy and schlocky when there's something better to be found. Lloyd, Neil Young, Dylan, The Replacements, The Smiths, Paul Westerberg with the Replacements, Van Morrison are where it's found.

[@toml7016]

Fully agree. The first two solo albums were really good. "The Negatives" was also good, but admittedly I didn't keep up either. Now may be a good time to catch up.

[@anthonyarguien7785]

You sure know your shit. I like that.

[@stanettiels7367]

👏🏻👏🏻

[@mjweber0313]

Great, great, great under appreciated song 🎵

[@martmako1]

another clever-cool tune from a superb album, many thanks

[@highlandangel-885]

So good voice... 🎼🎤🎧 😎 🍻

[@JackPeloquin]

Another solid cut, massively overlooked! Like Michael Penns No Myth. I remember the simpler times. And Bad Influence(s)...

[@SEABLUEFILMS]

Lloyd Cole is one of the finest intellectual songwriters of our time.

[@josephcoleman3635]

Bad Influence. Maximum creepy on VHS and old fashioned tube TV. Perfect song for LA greed and evil. Do a double feature with To Live and Die in LA. All after midnight.

[@CoachSet]

Must see movie on Prime now with the perfect song to go with it👍🏾

[@stevedeschamps3095]

He is simply the best lyricist i have ever heard, please pay attention to how he can flow his expressions close ur eyes and get in there AMAZING

[@spinazzola5373]

great song,great movie

[@vsander09]

Great vibe! Sounds so much like The The from the same period… like the Dusk album. Almost identical voice even.

[@67maverick]

I just rewatched this film with my daughter since she's into Blacklist with James Spader. So I wanted to show you a young James Spader. Then i realized what I great song this is. I do remember know that it suited the scene when I saw it. But there were no Shazam, KZbin or Shazam back then ;-)

Although I'm revolted by the lyrics, they do show an intelligence of a certain kind. I admire the candour so much I fist pumped the air.

[@smokeyanthony]

How about that blues harp?

[@jb8280]

I always confused Lloyd’s voice with Matt Johnson of The The and went looking fur this track in the wrong place. I found it eventually. That whole album is good.

[@vsander09]

I said the same thing then saw your comment after. Really does sound like The The.

Bad Influence

[@falseprophet1972]

Watched Bad Influence again last night. Shame about the ending which was weak......

[@WithoutRemorse12]

To me it's ambiguous. I understand it needed to be more definitive dark ending since it a noir.

[@67maverick]

I hoped for a sequel

[@Dasboot1992]

The ending was great wdym

[@WithoutRemorse12]

​@@Dasboot1992 It's a Neo Noir. They usually end bittersweet or as a tragedy. It seems the James Spader protagonist is probably going to go back to living as a square if the cops believe him and his brother's story. Instead of being damaged or a completely different person by the end credits.

[@MultiMrPhill]

Blimey, all of these comments are Intellectualism of an Intellectual-like nature! Ahem: I’ve got the Album on Vinyl. I bought it when it first came out. It’s a Great Record. Don’t worry, I’ll get me coat & see myself out!
