More Music, Less Thinking, Please

[erikred]

What the hell is so wrong and yet so right about musicians from countries that purport to speak English against all evidence to the contrary? I don't know, but whatever it is, mclusky's got it. Their sound is like Helmet minus the social commentary, plus... more.

They put me in mind of the very first time I heard the Descendents: pumped, jazzed, inexplicably happy. Be forewarned, not only do their lyrics really make no sense, they also sometimes include profanity.

Download "Lightsabre Cocksucking Blues" and "To Hell With Good Intentions" as mp3s, listen to "Alan Is A Cowboy Killer" via RealAudio, and watch the videos for "Undress For Success" and "To Hell With Good Intentions" via RealVideo. Lyrics can be found here and here.

I'm not sure I understand.

You seem to be comparing something to Helmet.

But you also seem to think it's good.

One of these things must be in error.

Oh, I'm terribly sorry. Next time I'll be sure to include some Lolita-esque J-pop so as to satisfy your peculiar tastes.

Will Utada Hikaru do, or she too old for you now?
