Wool is plagiarism. It's the name of my former "band" (we played open mics and our basements) consisting of Josh Light, Jeff Kreger, and myself (John Lanou). Now it's basically me and a hodgepodge of peeps, depending on the track.

Belly? It's got that funk. The drums, especially about three quarters through are dope. Plus the wah wah style, I mean, it reeks of 70s. And it's really tight. Cole version is toned down because I always feel like there is about to be a trainwreck when i listen to the other version. It literally makes me nervous.
