10/29/ 2006: Woodside Lanes Review - Urban Folk Issue No. 8
"Somewhere between the ultimate demise of his Modern Lovers, and before
the begining of his solo recording career, Jonathan Richman, spent
years traveling around, signing kids songs at elementry schools, where
he felt his wide-eyed songwriting would be best appreciated. A decade
and a half later, in between his Noise Addict days and his slick- pop-
rock albums, Ben Lee recorded a couple of ultra low-fidelity albums on
his 4 track. Both Jonathan and Ben wrote simple songs about the Ice
Cream Man, turntables, and the insecurity of going shirtless at the
beach. Both sounded like they were nostalgic for an idyllic past that
never existed.
Thomas Patrick Maguire sounds like that childhood Ben Lee is finally old enough to go to the pub. Still ultra lo-fidelity, still simple songs, with a little less wide eye wonder on songs like "Christian Mob", and "My Own Personal Earthquake". This is mostly guitar and vocal, but still summery, with some lyrical passages consisting only of oohs and aahs. My only real complaint is that (excepting opener "The Remedy") "Woodside Lanes" lacks the drums that move TPM's previous CD, "Pissing Streams," aling at a steady pace."

9/17/06 - Review of Woodside Lan(d)es in 
Thomas Patrick Maguire - Woodside Land
I remember finding Mr Maguires last record slightly endearing in a shambling lo-fi kind of way. And it's good to see that he has stuck to his guns.
It's all very Lou Barlow acoustic, the kind of thing you thought sunk with the good ship nineties, but when he bumps into a good tune as on "Negative Hill", "My Hands Were Tied" and others, it's rather engaging.
One for those who yearn for the days of storytellers gone by.

8. Thomas Patrick Maguire, "Woodside Lanes" (Luv-A-Lot)
"The enigmatic song-poet of Queens delivers another disc of moody
folk-pop and weirdly compelling lyrics (check out "Christian Mob" and
"Negative Hill"). Maguire may be spinning his wheels a bit here, but he
remains utterly hypnotic."
-Rafer Guzman
