Darwin Deez – Das Racist

29 Mar

Ummm I have NO idea where either of these bands get their drugs, but they must be good… Like REALLY good. Ummm… like the kind that Charlie Sheen gets.

This first guy was completely unknown to me and the minute I read his sad little bio about working in a vegan restaurant and making music with no money, I had to dig around. I watched a few things and couldn’t help thinking he is what Pedro and Napolean’s baby would look/dance/sing like. Sure, he’s scary, like weird and thinks too weird for me to comprehend-scary… but he’s damn good at making the pop musics. I like him. I just don’t … ya know… wanna eat vegan food with him anytime soon.

These next guys also spend time with Charlie Sheen or his dealer … or something. You might already know them form the “Combination Pizza Hut/Taco Bell” jam. At least, that’s the presence they had until now on my iPod. I did some more digging for the blog to see if maybe that one jam wasn’t indicative of the rest of their collection. Nope, it is. They have songs like, “Chicken and Meat” that are equally as emotionally moving as the Taco Bell song. But, alas, everyone needs a laugh every now and then… why not let these guys give it to you in the form of drug fueled munchie ridiculousness?

You wish you had Charlie Sheen’s dealer’s phone number now, don’t you?

Dan Bern – Danny Malone

29 Mar

Officially my latest post ever… clocking in at 8 o’clock after spending all day driving to and from Orlando in torrential downpour to reconnect with a friend from Korea who was in the area interviewing. Needless to say, I was not able to/didn’t want to even imagine what it would take to post from an iPhone… but I ALMOST did. So for the 5 of you who read this, if it’s the thought that counts, then count that shit damn it! :)

For starters… why the SHITCUSS has no one pinned me to the ground and forced me to listen to Dan Bern?! Completely and 500% totally up my alley. This guy should be all up in my iPod, making out with it, winning at it etc etc. He is fun and his voice is lovely and folk makes me feel like sitting in a small room with a record player… assuming I wasn’t a teacher and could afford such things. Anyway, if I could, this guy would dominate it for days and days…

Also, this Danny Malone guy… I likes him very muchly. OK, I initially loved him for his bio. which included this bit, “Danny owns all of his own dance moves, none borrowed and none stolen. Moves so powerful they have brought peace to warring peoples, joy to the depressed, and a cure for sickness.” In other words, don’t flake on your bio, bands. It might just get you a second listen from a blogger in the middle of craptown Florida with little to no influence on the music community… so THERE! Write funny bios damn it. I will be more likely to want you in my life.

Oh yeah, he’s like real good too. Like a more upbeat Elliott Smith… the subdued vocals that are a little Built to Spill/Oh No! Oh My!-esque? That’s where my head/ears took it anyway. He’s lovely. Listen and I’ll prove it!
