Mitch Hedberg - Do You Believe In Gosh



I play the guitar, I taught myself how to play the guitar, which was a bad decision... because I didn't know how to play it, so I was a shitty teacher. I would never have went to me.

- Mitch Hedberg

I really, really think that this guy was incredible.

Bill Fay - Time of The Last Persecution



Dream Song 14

BY JOHN BERRYMAN

Life, friends, is boring. We must not say so.
After all, the sky flashes, the great sea yearns,
we ourselves flash and yearn,
and moreover my mother told me as a boy
(repeatingly) ‘Ever to confess you’re bored
means you have no

Inner Resources.’ I conclude now I have no
inner resources, because I am heavy bored.
Peoples bore me,
literature bores me, especially great literature,
Henry bores me, with his plights & gripes
as bad as achilles,

who loves people and valiant art, which bores me.
And the tranquil hills, & gin, look like a drag
and somehow a dog
has taken itself & its tail considerably away
into mountains or sea or sky, leaving
behind: me, wag.

Bill

Bob Dylan - Surviving in a Ruthless World (Knopfler Mix of Infidels)



Infidels but pretty creepy shit. I like it a bunch.

Infidels

Thee Hardy Mums - Demos EP



Mannequin Men + Jesse (The Narrator) - Bass - Kick Drum + Annoying FX - song structure =Thee Hardy Mums

We like it.

MUMZ

Kevin Ayers - Shooting At The Moon





Spun from a cloth so weird it could cripple the ShamWow. Ayers is a beauty. Nico chimes in on 'Oyster and the Flying Fish' and it's pretty great. Sure, there's a couple minutes of backwards noise on here that's pretty un-listenable but what have you done recently? 'Lunatic's Lament' is seriously unforgettable, the end part of Rheinhardt & Geraldine (called 'Colores') is pretty epic too.

Method Man - Tical



Pretty sweet album, something about Meth's voice that just makes you feel cooler. One of my favorite changed lyrics in the Mannequin Men van is: "Where's that show you dudes are playin? DE KALLLLLLB" that'll make you feel pretty lame. It's all about checks and balances.

Jake Thackray-La Di Dah



A little weird, yes, but amazing nonetheless. Such a smartass has never been witnessed before. A gruesomely talented guitar player and arranger, those only being trumped by his lyrical genius, Jake is a man among boys. The closest thing I can compare him to is an american Brel...but better. I don't know really what this comp is from, but it's pretty good. Great album to cook to, and sit around to, especially this time of year. Give it a couple spins, it's a grower.
