Blossom Toes-If Only for a Moment

Their first album, precociously title "We are Ever so Clean," is a goodun. I know Bob Pollard likes it. You probably like it too. But this is the one I choose. Not nearly as poppy as their opening salvo. Instead, Brian Godding & crew get almost Beefheartian on the opening track "Peace Loving Man." Not really my favorite title, but still a pretty fantastic song. In a time where most of the music I hear is this bullshit commercial (I mean on tv, not mainstream commercial) music that all seems to be song by the same woman--the one with that thin, reedy voice that makes the skin crawl--sometimes I just have to blast this and clean my brain.

  1. nice job on the latest batch of goodies, J.O.

    regarding the blossom toes, i've been busy lately re-obsessing over a longtime favorite toes track, 'the remarkable saga of the frozen dog," from the first album, so i'm pretty darn curious about this near-beefheartian track of which you speak.
