Spend Quality Time, Learn To Cook

Relaxed Muscle “B-Real” – I heart Jarvis Cocker as Darren Spooner. It was seriously difficult to pick a single song to post here, almost all of the new Relaxed Muscle record is fun and ridiculously catchy. And just flat-out ridiculous, too. There’s a song called “Beastmaster” on this album, and it’s really, really good. I’m not kidding, that song totally rules, and so does “Sexualized” and “Tuff It Out” and the one where he says that he rules his woman with a “Rod Of Iron.” I know that a lot of people may be freaked out by Jarvis Cocker fully embracing his goofy, extremely ironic sense of humor, but I think this album was exactly the right thing for him to do after Pulp. Basically, he’s deflating lofty expectations and having a silly good time. That’s pretty joycore to me.
