What's the appeal of this? 
repetitive mediocre lyrics being mumbled in a lousy melody.

Anyone else hear a similarity to one of Kaki King's?

I've always quite enjoyed this, but I can barely make out most of the lyrics. He's a bit mumbly...

Bought this album after hearing this brilliant song…

The rest of it doesn't seem quite up to this level, but maybe it just needs to grow on me more.

Check it out though, it's good.

With that opening, I thought I had stumbled into a Ken Burns documentary.

The Toledo I live in doesn't look anything like this.

El Greco - View of Toledo

Instead, it looks like this.

Going "Through Toledo" is the best way to see the city.  About the only thing Toledo has going for it is an abundance of restaurants.  There is a saying around here that "If you can run a successful restaurant in Toledo, you can be successful anywhere."  I don't know why that is, but it might have something to do with the fact that there is a restaurant, fast food joint, cafe, diner or sports bar in about every other corner.  Most if it is ok, some is crap, and some is very good.  Best BBQ I've ever had came from a place not far from where I live.  We also have Tony Packo's of MASH fame.  Good stuff.

Neat set. At least Laswell is still alive. Gives you pause about the wonder of sound recording, that sublime performances like those of Smith, Atkins, and Drake are preserved forever. Not too long ago, say, 150 years, if you didn't hear it live—and on a good night {#Lol}—you didn't hear it at all. Man, are we ever lucky to live in this day and age. You can listen to Duke Ellington's orchestra in its prime one moment and the Dandy Warhols the next. Pretty cool.

some people have WAY too much time on their hands, and spend Way too much time in their head.  Pity.

Very nice!
And this whole album is very good as well, though a bit inconsistent.

You're old enough to know better.  All my records eventually sounded pretty scratchy, due to improper record handling in my younger days. One thing I noticed when radio converted to CD players was the sudden disappearance of crackle and popping, which surprised me because I had always assumed it was radio static.  I figured the DJs surely took good care of their music library and the static was not just scratchy records.

  

You could tell the popularity of the records we had in my late 60s college station DJ daze by their pops & crackles. More pops/crackles = more DJs playing the album. We'd wear out 4 or 5 Jimi Hendrix, Quicksilver, Who and Stones records in 6 months easy. On the other hand the Carpenters, Petula Clark and Cowsills albums were in pristine condition.
