Alright, an amazingly hilarious guy. Listen, you’ll like him. And if you don’t, keep an eye out for the Chicken Cow coming after you.
The Mars Volta
May 15
Elaine thinks this album sounds like some sort of Spanish Hardcore, but still thinks they’re a great band. I agree. So does Manny and Tessie and everyone else who matters. Are you someone who matters? If so, you must like The Mars Volta. No? Then give this track a listen and become someone important! Yee! Warning, though, it’s a big download this week, some twenty-plus megabytes. With that in mind, here’s L’ Via L’ Viaquez‘_Via_L’_Viaquez.mp3 from the Frances the Mute album.
Los Lonely Boys
May 1
Hi everybody. This is Kenneth’s friend, Ray, with this week’s mp3. I kind of broke from the norm last time I posted the mp3 of the week and this time will be no different. Obviously, Los Lonely Boys are not punk, emo, nor are they nintendocore. I would classify their music as “TexMex” or “Texican rock”. In any case, it’s just three chicano brothers with great family harmony.
In keeping with my tradition of indecisiveness, I’m posting two mp3s again. But this time from the same group, so I’m doing better. Without further ado, here’s Dime Mi Amor and Nobody Else. I got a good response last time I posted songs, so I’m hoping you enjoy these as well.
Loretta Lynn
March 20
First off, many thanks to Ray for covering for me last week. Wouldn’t want to miss a week…
Anyway, here’s a song I kept listening to during the packing. And, since we’re now on a mountain top, it’s fitting. And, yes, it’s country. But it’s the awesome country, the great old style of country. If you don’t like it, too bad. :) So, listen to High Up On A Mountain Top by Loretta Lynn from her new album, Van Leer Rose.
Hallowe’en 12 of 13
October 30
Last year, at this time, we had just watched the PBS documentary on the blues, so this track makes me think of that time of year (we picked the album up around this time, too). This is Son House’s song Death Letter

Hallowe’en is supposed to be fun and spooky, so, building off that last word, here’s Spooky by Dusty Springfield.
