The Dimes - “The King Can Drink The Harbor Dry” - Borrow It

text: Chris Barth

Put the tea kettle on and break out the map of Boston when you listen to this album. The lyrics will make more sense, you’ll have something to read while The Dimes play in the background, and you’ll be caffeinated enough to not be lulled to sleep by inoffensive melodies.

Then you will probably love this record.  You will also probably be asked by a friend if they can borrow it because they want to hear what you hear in it but really aren’t so sure they want to buy it just yet.

ANY song (other than Babyface) off Zooropa is an underrated song! This was the highlight of the show by far. For the love of music, don’t watch the disaster of Costello covering “Mysterious Ways.” At least he didn’t bring out a belly dancer…

i’m excited to see how their sound carries in a venue like the wonder ballroom. i saw them in a dark, tiny, cramped club in boston a while back. which was a perfect setting for their music. i’m not too worried though - they have energy to spare on stage.
