All them tremendous brunettes around

Slow down, don’t fuck with my high
I want to be left alone here with my monsters and
Say, now it’s time to ride
To see lovely girls and to not put the moves on them
Praise now the baby genius
She skips in the shade of the lonely sour apple tree
While she snaps on her gum
Her gleaming teeth bared and the shine that she shows to me

All of your ill-gotten gains
That you have whipped up to a rich, foamy lather, girl
Nameless gnaw of my pains
Like three hundred trumpets, and just one is out of tune

- "Tremendous Brunettes," Mike Doughty

Welcome... welcome...

Tremendous Brunettes is a killer song, ain't it?

holy crap, yeah

Man, I freakin LOVE Doughty. Saw Soul Coughing at the Blind Pig in Ann Arbor a few months after RUBY VROOM came out and they just KILLED. Best live show I've EVER seen. I have officially gone on record saying that a number of times. And if you think I'm exaggerating, just ask my good buddy resk, who was at that show with me. Seriously. Effing TRANSCENDENT.

And those lyrics rule SO HARD. They SPEAK to me.

I first played "Bus to Beelzebub" in 1994 when I was a late-night DJ for my college radio station.

I've seen Soul Coughing at least 5 times, and Doughty solo probably more. :)

They were wonderful live, and I was truly sad when they'd broken up. "True Dreams of Wichita," once their fan base had solidified and memorized every last nuance of each song. Talk about a hivemind mentality when SC would get to that break right in the middle of Wichita, and the whole audience would hold the moment, and then just start gettin' down and goin' nuts. Yeah. Good times.

Those lyrics speak to me, too. Sigh.

Do you have Haughty Melodic? I really recommend it.

Not yet, but it's DEFINITELY on The List. First, I gotta get me the new NIN, Ben Folds, Weezer, Coldplay, Gorillaz, Oasis, Ryan Adams, SOAD, Billy Corgan....sigh. Dammit. Why do the record labels ALWAYS sandbag all their best new releases and put them all out at the same point in May and September, every year? It's like "sweeps", only for CD purchases. :P

Doughty fucking rules.

And I was his official mailing list girl at a show in Brooklyn, and got an autographed copy of Rockity Roll.

Yes, go ahead — you can touch me.

I will touch the hem of your garment in less than a week!

Oh my, wow. I was JUST listening to Haughty Melodic the other day for the first time. What a great song.

[entelein.livejournal.com]

Yeah. :)
