Would you consider him/nils to be your favorite artist?
Definitely in my all-time top 3... Descendents/ALL, Nils, Ramones

Great stuff, but my favorite is still The Title is the Secret Song. I don't understand how some of that stuff remained unreleased until 2009/2010.
Just the typical sad story of a brilliant artist who struggled with all the usual temptations and stumbling blocks... drugs, poor organization, shifty managers, bandmates etc. I'm pretty good friends with the guy who released the
Green Fields in Daylight anthology CD in the late 90s, and he wants to put out proper releases for a lot of the stuff that's still in the vaults, but refuses to have anything to do with any hypothetical project while Carlos (Alex's brother) is still alive.
