rides a euphoric groove. even the lyrics take a gleefully absurdist route to pathos: the chorus interpolates edgar allen poe, and the bridge riffs on samuel beckett giving andré the giant a ride to school . grief has rarely sounded like such a hoot. taylor claims that there are no ...
Boogie is long overdue a mainstream revival. The misleadingly monikered microgenre added a bit of gutsy R&B bounce to sleek disco rhythms as the ’70s bled into the ’80s, and then played them in such an intensely uptight, airtight fashion you’d think they were planning on sending 12 i...
That edition has been my “go to” listen ofFreak Outfor most of my life — I got my copy in perfect shape used in the mid-70s when I was getting in to Zappa, for a measly $2.50. I still have that record and it sounds great, arguably better than the stereo mix… So, yes, be...
For those that haven’t yet obtained a copy ofThe Lyrics, it begins with Paul dedicating the book to ” my wife Nancy, and my mum and dad, Mary and Jim,” Not quite sure why the kids were left out, but whatever. That’s followed by a Table of Contents showing us that Paul chose...

re playing a mile a minute. That’s the only explanation I can come up with for why there are so many covers of it out there that sound just like the original. The Klone Orchestra does something different with it, slowing things way down so you can understand all the lyrics. It’s ...
and they’re going after so much stuff at once, with such vigor and determination, that, after #drumpf and his crew are out of office, it will take LITERALLY DECADES before we’re back to where we were in the late ’60s and early ’70s… and I DON’T HAVE DECADES! i’ve got two...
“Stay” was the first full song I wrote lyrics for. I was a teenager, and I loved writing about love and heartbreaks. The first line is “I lied when I said that I moved on, but look here baby, you still headline every song.” The lyric eventually made it to T...
Mathew Mossburg:I was very excited to meet Jason; I had been praying to find a producer and when Mack (Brock) introduced us I was over the moon (and a little nervous) when I found out all the artists he had worked with. He is also an incredible musician. But when we met in person...
