latin playboys, anyone? It's a two album collaboration 'project' between members of Los Lobos and Mitchell Froom, got into them because I really like Los Lobos. Some pretty offbeat crazy stuff on those records, I'd say But very catchy in an odd way.

I mean how can you deny the poetry of 'You ****ed Up"? I can't tell you how many times those words have gotten me through some really difficult times. I should pick up some of their newer stuff. And they're the local boys! They come from a town only about a half hour north of me! Love it when the local kids make you proud...

Offbeat pop groups = the Flaming Lips
They put out a great album several years ago

Ha! Yeah, they're great. I love all those albums you mentioned and have a special soft spot in my heart for The Pod--it was the first thing I ever heard from them and it knocked me out! You should pick up a copy of Quebec (I believe it was released in 2003). It's my favorite album of theirs to date. I think you'd really like it. I especially love the song, "If You Could Save Yourself (You'd Save Us All)" from that album. My sig quote is a line from that song. Here, I'll include the lyrics because I love it so (where's that lyrics thread??): On a free ride home from the embassy I saw the governor, and his lover holding hands When I got to my place, I emptied my suitcase And opened the windows wide If you could save yourself, you'd save us all Is that what you called me for, is that why you're knocking on my door? The time I've spent, working myself to death Thought that's what you wanted I thought you needed my help To make it good again, to make us strong To make you happy, to push you along And gain some respect, to be thrown a crumb I was on my knees, when you knocked me down The wheels fell off, the bottom dropped out The checks all bounced, I came in your mouth Your mother came calling but there was no one around The trash caught fire when the leaves turned brown The vultures were circling when the circus left town I left you a note but I wrote it in disappearing ink If you could save yourself, you'd save us all Is that what you called me for, is that why you're knocking on my door? The time I've spent, working myself to death Thought that's what you wanted I thought you needed my help To make it good again, to make us strong To make you happy, to push you along And gain some respect, to be thrown a crumb I was on my knees, when you knocked me down Ahhh, now I feel better! Great song. Great album

The Pod, that's the one that they modeled after some Leonard Cohen album cover right? You suppose they're big LC fans? Those lyrics are fantastic. I'm definitely gonna pick up that album. Of course it's no I got a weazel; it's a teazel; mah pleazel; mah pleazel; got a weazel Oh God thanks for giving me a reason to listen to this again...

Tee-hee. Yeah, there are still those kinds of songs on the album, but they (as is usually the case with them) fit in nicely sandwiched between really straightforward, melodic masterpieces. Their albums are so surreal, you know going in without even hearing the album that you've never heard anything like this before. You just know it! Yes, do get Quebec and let me know what you think!
