I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
"mr. whirly's sound certainly remains loyal to their home state. Since the mid-eighties, when the Replacements, Gear Daddies, Jayhawks, etc. combined their punk, country and Cheap Trick influences, Minnesota has been a hotbed for this kind of stuff. When it's done right (as in the case of the [CD]), it makes for a very easy listen. The production values of this recording are fantastic. The songs are very hummable, and all the vocalists (all three of 'em), have solid, nicely tuned voices ... this is a keeper." CAKE magazine
"... sublime pop stylings ..." PULSE of The Twin Cities

Is this like Girdy talking to Herkimer? Or is it Kukamuk that's the same one? All I know is Baby Earnest is his own person. Well, maybe not a person, but you know what I mean ...
