It’s “Song About A Beard” Tuesday!

It's

She broke up with me
Two days later,
I think she met Don Juan in Italy
She has a new man
I have a new mustache
Now all my friends are gonna call me mountain man
And everyone will think that I’m a stupid drifter
To walk the earth alone
I’ll never shave again
On the night she left me
Facial hair grew miraculously
I dressed [...]

Here’s a nice twitchy asswiggler from some local boys done good. This was available at 128kbps (with the mp3 Genre tag “Don’t call it Lazer Bass”) at XLR8R, but the Mob had mercy on music lovers and put it up on their own site at 320kbps.
Numbers numbers blah blah SHAKE IT!!!

You Won't Find Me In Your Handbook Of Heroes

I avoided listening to Door, Door for years — thinking it was the usual “let’s reissue the famous guy’s first album” deal (The Manish Boys, anyone?).
Then my pal hooked me up with a copy, and I was (to say the least) flubberblusted. I regretted the years of listening to it that I had missed, but [...]

So Orchestra Baobab just came through town, and I read a review that was so over the moon about the show that I had to investigate. And hey guess what! Great band!
As you know, my chi is weak when it comes to non-Western music, but I’m starting to climb the ladder. The bottom rung [...]

Procter & Gamble, Campbell’s Gospel

Procter & Gamble, Campbell's Gospel

Call me an old cornball, but some songs just kind of give me the happy chills. Even if you don’t like this song, you have to appreciate the effort.
I’m a little wistful though, when I think about the ladies who left the country music behind. Maria McKee in the 80s, and k.d. lang in the [...]

I’m going to do you a favor today and help you get that Master P taste out of your mouth.
How am I going to do it? With the best-named crew in rap and a female MC named Pebblee Poo.

Mmmm, how about maybe adding some Bulgarian lyrics, sung by a woman with a Ph.D in molecular [...]
