"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)
"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff
superfreak - since i'm back in bari our favourite freak sings and dance like a demented monkey in this asymmetrical folk lo-fi album... if you like out of synch drums, out of tune guitars and hysterical vocals, you sure will love this.
alexander de large - nazi elvis a new chapter of de large's search of cosmic pessimism, all recorded in mono, as if to underline a certain sense of loneliness... cowpunk, gothfolk, steamcore, call it as you wish, he never gets pissed...
bread pitt - non fate allarme an album albout nasty topics like snails, pricks and explosions, an album about which the Murge was already proud before it was born, a mass of styles that's useless to enumerate...
I have every other Monday night off of work now! (But I'll be starting class on Monday nights in 2 weeks.) Guess where I'm going tomorrow night tho. Thats right - the Lauralthirst!
