Stephen Cummings. 


I haven't listened to "Falling Swinger" in years. Melancholy and shimmering, sometimes lush, sometimes spare, this album was an impulse buy from a secondhand music store in Sydney. I had no idea who Stephen Cummings was; I liked the song titles. "What the Eyes Have Made Welcome," "Days Chasing Days," "Sliding Across a Blue Highway."

I chose to listen to this after a quick romp with the Violent Femmes, courtesy of Fabo (he's the man). Fabo also let me listen to songs from Bow Wow Wow, not just I Want Candy. They were too cool for the eighties.
