Bob Kolve - Chase Your Clouds Away
Posted on September 30, 2006 by twoply
When Bob finally tired of recording cheesy faux-country ballads, corny jazz numbers, and flaccid pop tunes, he wrote the acid-rock banger that is Neptune's Sea (just do your best to forgive his regrettable decision to sing over it).Here we have a certifiably ungooglable LP (until this post goes up, that is). As far as I can tell, Bob hailed (hails?) from Moses Lake, WA. Yet, he inexplicably felt the need to fly to New York City to record this album, which can only be described as being thoroughly local, except for Neptune's Sea. According to the liner notes, Bob was after that elusive "creative atmosphere to formularize his unique style." I'm sure talentless schmucks everywhere are waiting for the patent to expire on that formula, Bob.Ha! I only jest. But really, Bob, I mean this as a fan of Neptune's Sea. You should have just made more songs like… well, Neptune's Sea.

Wow I knew Bob in Moses Lake back in the 70’s . . . he packed a mean Takamine, baby . . . best of all, he was one of those special kind of geeks who had no idea how amazingly uncool he was. Just loads and loads of ego, with zero talent to back it up. We pissed our pants laughing after we bought a copy of his album at the local convenience store, loaded the bong and let the genius of Bob wash over us. Thanks for the memory!
are you a fan or do you just like late 70’s early 80’s music and to the yapping man, he had to have some talent or he wouldn’t have made the album. to twoply email me if you want more info on mr.kolve oh where did you get your copy of the album?

This is John Cleese’s rarest record.
