Elvis Costello... and ROPER!
In a move almost unheard of from myself, I am posting TWICE in one day. This is actually just a part of my plan to make sure everyone is sick of me.
No. The real reason I bring you a second post is to tell you two things. First, tomorrow a very good band will be putting out a very good CD. You should go buy it. The band is Roper, headed by Reese " Not Mike" Roper of Five Iron Frenzy. It isn't ska, but it does feature the witty lyrics of Reese, so you should check it out.
The second reason I am overdosing you Mindsayans is that I bought Elvis Costello's new CD The Delivery Man. It is one of his best albums in a long time. If you like intelligent lyrics with music, REAL music by REAL musicians, you will like Elvis Costello's new CD. There aren't really any bad tracks so far, but one of my favorites is one your bound to hear on the radio or MTV (even though the only time worth watching Music Videos are in the wee hours of the morning). It's called "Monkey To Man".
Some Lyrics for yins:
A long time ago, our point of view
Was broadcast by Mr. Bartholomew
Now the world is full of sorry and pain
It's time for us to speak up again
You're slack and sorry
Such an arrogant brood
The only purpose you serve is to bring us our foodSuch an arrogant brood
We Sit here Staring at your pomp and pout
Outside the bars we use for keeping you out
You've taken everything you wanted
Broke it up and plundered it and hunted
Ever since we said it
You went and took the credit
It's been this way since the world began
When a vicious creature took the jump from monkey to man.
My favorite so far? A song called 'The Name of This Thing Is Not Love". It's worth the purchase.
