I love it when JR writes songs about real people. Velvet Underground,Pablo Picasso,Walter Johnson, etc.

"Si el Sexo hay que Planificar" is more of an improvisation with a couple of sentences in Spanish

For some reason a lot of people knocked this record when it came out. Why? I love it. In fact I think it's one of his strongest and most mature efforts

O Moon has grown on me but I'm still having a hard time connecting with it. Not a bad album but JR seems like he's in a holding pattern with the last few releases. None of them are bad but the last few albums seem a bit to similar to each other.

Wow...seems like only a few months ago.The song "I Was the One She Came For" is probably the most common song from this album to get stuck in my head.

These Bodies,I Was The One She Came For,We'll Be The Noise We'll Be The Scandal,The Bitter Herb,My Affected Accent are my favorites.

O Moon, Queen of Night on Earth

A pretty good recording but the sound levels were probably set a little too high so there's some crackle and distortion within some of the louder songs, more so at the beginning than the end of the tape. Overall a very good recording and most songs are unaffected.

What could be said about this song? For me it's the epitome of Jonathan Richman

JojoBlog post for the song with a live performance: http://jojofiles.blogspot.com/2011/11/door-to-bohemia.html

I hope that Bohemia shows up on the next album but aren't there quite a few excellent JR songs that never appeared on any of his albums?

Some unreleased recent songs: Mr. Sorrow, Bohemia, Her Love Is From Somewhere Else, Hard Time Saying Goodbye, Italian Party Song, Hebrew Party Song (barbeque), Keith Richards. There's even a few that I'm missing

Jonathan with Tommy Larkins. A top notch recording which includes the new song 'The Door To Bohemia' and a great sounding 'Not So Much To Be Loved As To Love'.

The high-e guitar string broke during "A Que Venimos..." and he happily continued playing for another song or two!

At the end JR, announced that there wasn't going to be an encore because he had "said all he wanted to say", and he did in a way that the audience understood. An interesting end to the night
