You Can Taste It In The Air

My frustration is palpable. This is my third time around trying to write a post. My first attempt was about this great local band called Attacked By Wolves, but the term “emo” appeared in the post close to twenty times and they really don’t like the term so I have to rework that one a little bit.

My next try was about how much I hate Yoko Ono. But then, who doesn’t? I challenge any of you to find me a relatively normal person who enjoys *any* of Yoko’s work – from her wailing that sounds like a beaten dog being violated anally to all of the other crap-tastic art stuff she does. That post just dragged on and on, with one un-PC comment after another.

That's when I gave up. But I can’t just leave you hanging, can I? No, I couldn’t do that. Wouldn't be prudent. So now, without much fan-fare or hoopla, I’m going to tell you that Mike Doughty, the former lead singer of Soul Coughing put out a new album called Haughty Melodic last spring. If you liked Soul Coughing, then this should be right up your alley – cuz it sounds almost exactly like Soul Coughing but with more guitar and less weird noise. I’d like to tell you more, but quite frankly, it’s not going to happen.

Stuff to Sample: From Mike Doughty’s new album Haughty Melodic “Looking at the World from the Bottom of a Well” and “Your Misfortune”
