Come out tonight, come out with me, baby.
We'll throw the careful into the crazy,
Turn the sky black into a sky blue,
Turn the close shave into a "woo-hoo"!
What I say is true, make a fire, gotta burn a few,
Make a fire, gotta burn a few,
We can do what we want to do.
We're like Romeo and Juliet, 40 dogs, cigarettes,
We're like good times that haven’t happened yet but will.
I can tell you where we're gonna be
When the whole world falls to the sea:
We’ll be livin’ ever after, happily
(From "40 Dogs")
I've been needing something new and today I found it. I don't know why it's taken me so long to get on the Bob Schneider bandwagon, but this is my new favorite album, even though, technically, I don't own it yet. I streamed it today on Rhapsody. You pay a monthly subscription fee and then you can stream anything you want, continuously if you want. So a lot of times when I hear of something I might like I listen to it first on Rhapsody before I buy it, and, yes, it still makes sense for me to buy it because I'm something of an audiophile and I like the pure sound that you get from a real CD and not just the MP3s.
So, yeah, Bob Schneider, ya'll. I listened a little bit to "Lonelyland" a few years ago and liked him but for whatever reason didn't go any deeper. He's a big name in and around Austin and is/was front man for The Scabs. "Tarantula" on this album was actually a Scabs song. There are quite a few cool numbers on this disk, several of which showcase his talent as a lyricist. Anyway, my favorite tracks on this disk are "Trash", "40 Dogs" and the neat little "Scabs"-esque "Your Head Holds Gold, Your Heart Holds Diamonds."
My Amazon copy should be coming any day now ...
