This absolute gem of a record was actually released in the late 90's and despite it's sheer brilliance, did at that time fall on deaf ears. However it has a happy ending as having been released towards the end of 2010 it's become one of the favourite albums here at the Tuckshop HQ. Scuzzy guitars and garage drums punch through one slacker anthem after another filling you with images of lazy summer days with very few cares.
From what i can gather Charles Douglas was some young upstart kicking around in New York in 1997 and recorded this album pretty much live in something like 10 days. It totally sounds like a New York record, further emphasised by Velvet Undergrounds Mo Tucker filling in on drums (legend suggests this was as a last minute stand in as the band had no drummer)It's also worth a listen,so turn on the kettle, tuck into your burger king and embrace being a waster.
The Lives of Charles Douglas has been released by Broken Horse so go check it out.
