Take A Cue From Crazy USA
Check out this rather interesting interview with David Rees from last week’s issue of the New York Press. I had meant to post this yesterday, but it slipped my mind. It’s not much of a surprise that Rees is as articulate and clever in interview as he is in his Get Yur War On strips, but I did raise my eyebrow when I read that his dayjob is at Maxim. The print version of the article includes a photo of Rees, who turns out to be a pretty handsome guy. The illustration at the top of the article as linked really doesn’t do him justice.
Oh, and there’s a (relatively) new page of Get Yur War On up now, as of January 19th.
I Only Sing About Things That Happen To Me
More new songs for you all. I’ll write about the last four later on. “Roxie”, “Laura”, “Oyster”, and “Water And A Seat” from previous entries will stay up a little while longer.
David Byrne “Everyone’s In Love With You” – This is taken from Byrne’s most recent solo album, Look Into The Eyeball, which I think is the finest record of his career, even better than Remain In Light. No, seriously. I’m not kidding around. “Everyone’s In Love With You” may not be the best song on the album, but it is a very sweet little tune; it’s sort of like a modest indie romantic comedy compressed into a melodic two-and-a-half minute long pop song.
Ween “(Extra) Cheese” – I made this extended mix of the two 30 second Ween Pizza Hut jingles with Acoustica, so it can be enjoyed as a full length song, or more easily used as song in MP3 DJing. Pass it around.
