Lloyd Cole (born 31 January 1961) is an English singer and songwriter, known for his role as lead singer of Lloyd Cole and the Commotions from 1984 to 1989, and for his subsequent solo work.
Cole was born in Buxton. He grew up in nearby Chapel-en-le-Frith and went to New Mills Grammar School and later attended Runshaw College in Leyland. He studied a year of Law at University College London but switched to the University of Glasgow, where he studied Philosophy and English and met the other members of The Commotions.
The Commotions' 1984 debut, Rattlesnakes, contained literary and pop culture references to such figures as Arthur Lee, Norman Mailer, Grace Kelly, Eve Marie Saint, Simone de Beauvoir, Truman Capote, and Joan Didion. The group produced two more albums, Easy Pieces and Mainstream, before disbanding in 1989, when Cole relocated to New York and recorded with various artists, including Fred Maher, Robert Quine and Matthew Sweet.
This solo setting produced two albums, Lloyd Cole in 1990 and Don't Get Weird on Me Babe in 1991. The latter was recorded in two parts: one side continued the New York rock mastered on his first solo album, while the other side featured a session orchestra, much in the style of Burt Bacharach or Scott Walker. Although some reviewers have claimed Don't Get Weird on Me Babe (the title being a quotation from the American minimalist writer Raymond Carver) to be a creative peak, it produced significantly fewer record sales. While he remained with Polydor as his record label, the US distribution contract with Capitol Records ended. (US rights were immediately picked up by Rykodisc.)

LLOYD COLE, von der Musikwelt gefeiert, hat vor kurzem mit „Standards“ ein weiteres Meisterwerk vorgelegt. Waren bei seinem letzten Album „Broken Record“ noch sanftere Klänge und akustische Gitarren angesagt, so kommt die neue Scheibe energetischer, rauer, rockiger daher, die Keyboards sind in den Hintergrund getreten um E-Gitarren mehr Gehör zu verschaffen. LLOYD COLE klingt nach Großstadt, nach Veränderung und Aufregung, urban Lifestyle mit jeder Menge Kreativität. Do, 05. Dezember 2013; Szene Wien - Hauffgasse 26, 1110 Wien

Part 1 of 2 of an obscure live video 2003 made with my ARCHOS camera module (which was one of the first portable mp3 and mp4-recorders that time - thanks for that, too bad Apple beat you-). Yes I know, its a poor video quality, but hey, at least I recorded it and share it with you. Enjoy part 1 of the bootleg of this great artist. The fun starts at 01:20 with cover of "The Partisan" from Leonard Cohen. I especially do like "Mainstream" at 29:55. And yet another cover from Cohen at 50:10 ("Chelsea Hotel"). Details: 10 june 2003 - Botanique - Orangerie. Bruxelles (Brussel). Entry 14 euro.

Lloyd Cole and the Commotions Le Palace, Paris, France; December 4, 1984. Very good to excellent soundboard. Lloyd Cole And The Commotions’ debut album in 1984, Rattlesnakes, might have been a US college favourite at that time but it certainly was one of the brightest albums of the year and the group was rightly lauded by the NME (NME has included it in its Top 100 Albums of All-Time list). [Though the group was formed in Glasgow, Scotland, Cole was English and he has since moved to the United States.] 00:00 Rattlesnakes 3:33 03:32 Are You Ready To Be Heartbroken? 3:04 06:36 Glory (Television cover) 2:23 08:59 Andy’s Babies 2:57 11:56 Charlotte Street 3:40 15:36 Patience 3:30 19:04 Speedboat 3:57 23:00 Beautiful City 3:47 26:47 Perfect Skin 3:10 29:57 Forest Fire 4:35 34:32 Gl...
