Summary
Silly moments abound, including "Chicken Titz," which sounds like an oldies rock ballad with ridiculous lyrics, and the 25-second-long "Mister Meat (Hot Rejection)." Sample lyrics in the latter include: "I am Mr. Meat/ I am Mr. Meat/ He won't give you infection/ Just a big old injection."
While [Greg Rogove] is sure that Megapuss will continue on, the multi-instrumentalist stumbles when trying to explain why he enjoys collaborating with Barnhart. Megapuss works well, he says, because [Devendra Banhart] "is a Gemini" and he "has a really big toe." Then he scratches the comment to say that their chemistry is strong because "we are both women underneath." His final conclusion: "We're good."[David Berman]'s latest CD, Lookout Mountain, Lookout Sea, reveals his literary inclinations. In "My Pillow is a Threshold," Berman describes a narrator more interested in his dreams than in waking life with the details of a short story writer. The album's best track, "Suffering Jukebox," is a weepy country song about that battered jukebox; the chorus pining: "Suffering jukebox, such a sad machine/ You're all filled up with what other people mean/ Hardship, damnation and guilt/ Makes you wonder why you were even built."See the full content of this document
