It’s Fun Fun Fun
There is a lot to recommend to Craig Wedren's voice, but I've always been fond of the way he can affect this sorta sexy-brat tone. A little bitchy, a little flirty, a little silly. "I Know," a cut from his new solo record, is a showcase for this quirk as he admits that "it's fun to treat you badly" over this heavy, stomping groove that reminds me a bit of Basement Jaxx's "Cish Cash." He sells the message just right – his voice conveys a bit of regret and shame for his cruelty, but also a lot of genuine glee in being a total dick.

It’s almost like it’s bad on purpose…Bad decisions were made and lead to interesting results none the less…

In a surprising turn of events on the Internet, while the above entity finds it to be bad, I find it to be good. I know: what? But Craig Wedren is the best, and I’ve been looking forward to “Wand” for about ever. Also, “The Jerk”, these are really the only kinds of decisions Craig Wedren makes all the time, so he might not be your bag.
If you’ve heard the whole album, what do you think of it, Matthew?
