Let me introduce you to Adam Green.

Once one of the greatest indie heros of the noughties, Green is still enjoying increasing popularity in a a number of European countries. But I'm not sure if he established himself in the United States.

His LP Gemstones is one of the records, that I've listened to the most in my life, since I was an early teenager. Back then I probably couldn't understand half of the humorous lyrics.
But I've always liked his entertainer voice combined with the Wurlitzer piano.

Just like one of his biggest influences Jonathan Richman, who became influated by the Velvet Underground, Adam Green lived in the orbit of an other similiar NY band The Strokes.
His great-grandmother, Felice Bauer, was engaged to Franz Kafka!

It was great to put his music back on, because I feel he appeared somehow forgotten

Splendid! It's great to see that he continued his friendship with Doherty and Barrat after the Libs broke up. I hope I get the chance to see him live when he comes to town. I've just watched Au Coeur De La Nuit with Adam Green and Carl Barrat on YT. It's a pretty interestingly embarrassing but very entertaining glimpse behind the curtain.

It's like watching a little less violent version of the last storie of Mystery Train( Buscemi, Strummer) only with real characters
