Whenever I hear the enchanting tones of a banjo being plucked my mind starts a rolling. First it conjures the South, then dirty folks with no shoes, mint juleps and so on. By the time it’s all said and done, I’m thinking about half-naked, toothless midgets, rasslin’ in a mud pit for spare change, OR the geo-political causes behind the Civil War, but usually, it’s the midgets. That’s just what the sound of the banjo does to me.
But when I listen The Boy Least Likely To and his new album The Best Party Ever (quite a bit of banjo here early on), I don’t see midgets mud rasslin’. I see midgets chicken fighting each other on the backs of other midgets who are surfing the beautiful breaks off California’s Pacific coast.
I will probably never listen to this album again, it’s just a bit too folksy for me, but a few of you may dig it. I just had to tell somebody about the midgets. Thanks for listening.
Stuff to Sample: The Boy Least Likely To’s “Fur Soft As Fur†and "Hugging My Grudge†and as an added bonus, more Sounds of the South.
I like the new look.
What do you mean, "new look?" What changed, exactly?
I sometimes wonder about how the site looks to other people on other computers. I designed specifically for Mozilla and my 19 inch monitor. The site looks wierd in IE, but I know you're using Gecko browser, probably Mozilla or Netscape.
Let me know, if you would, that would be great.
Well the entire BLOG looks completely different. Its like it all text based, asside from the pictures posted in your blog enteries. There is no banner image, nor a navigiation bar to the right, nor a menu just below the banner. You want me to take a screen shot and send it to you?
Hey, I highly recommend Demon Days, the new Gorillaz record. If you don't have it get it. If you do have it talk about it.
Yeah, I have the new Gorillaz album, I actually wrote something about it for my other job. And I was getting ready to post here until I caught the new iPod commercial featuring “Feel Good Inc.†and that kind of killed my interest.
But what’s really sad is I’ve had the album for weeks but just didn’t have the time to write about it.
There is just too much music and only one of me. Maybe I need some help.
