everything is fine, fine, fine

Soul Coughing, Irresistible Bliss

1st heard of these guys when I saw them open for the Dave Matthews Band about 100 years ago. I thought it was a great band name, & they tore it up live.

Bought this record the next day, & I highly recommend it. Super-fantastic grooves mixed w/ some seemingly Dada-style lyrics.

For the "song-not-album" people, check out "Super Bon Bon" & "The Idiot Kings," 2 of my top-500 songs like ever.

(& today's title comes from the lyrics of the latter.)

Also, for the eclectic tastes: "Soft Serve," "4 out of 5," "Disseminated," & "Soundtrack to Mary."

Oh, & how about paint, w/ the following lyric: "I know you're dumb as paint."

Got to love it.

& for the genre folks . . .uhh . . . . rock/funk, bass-driven-groove w/ a touch of soul, maybe?

Juniors:
Have you ever read The Waste Land?

Well, I have, & it rocks.

(But there is no water.)

Sophomores:
Highlights from  the intro to the film:

Antigone: somber, mayhaps tragic

Creon: collector of rare manuscripts, fooler of self

Eurydice: she sits there sewing until she leaves to die.

Chorus: good-looking fellow, greta mustache.

Ismene: "Chorus" says she's far more beautiful than Antigone

Haimon: he liked sports, competition

Oh, & this was filmed in the '70s when a lot of folks smoked, but please don't.

'Til then . . .

FORWARD!!!
