I know this is a film site, but please do yourself a favor and go out now and purchase Lloyd Cole’s latest album, Music in a Foreign Language. Any one of Cole’s albums deserves to be the soundtrack to its own film (the way Aimee Mann’s songs singehandedly inspired P.T. Anderson’s Magnolia into existence), but this latest album of Lloyd’s is particularly beautiful and filmic in its lush and melancholy tone—so I’m plugging it here in hopes that some movie mogul will finally realize what an underappreciated gem this guy is, and give him more than a one-song credit for the soundtack to their next movie. If you’re already a fan, you know the films; if you’re not, there are two that I know of: the title song on My Beautiful Laundrette and “Margot’s Waltz” on There’s Something About Mary. Two completely different films, one musician to span the gamut—he’s that good. But oh, my, he’s so much better than even that.
