Dave Matthew Band - Time Bomb

To those of you not convinced that Groogrux deserves your serious attention, I offer another great song besides the other best song on the album.  This one starts out slow but builds a LOT of steam as it progresses into a full blown rock out where Dave does that thing where you think his throat may start bleeding onto the mike.  Enjoy.

By the by, the video advertises free downloads of this on off LoveFreMp3.com.  I checked it out and best I can tell...Not Found.  Stoopid anyways.

Best song on GrooGrux King, so far

It may not be the most catchy.  It may not be the most popular.  It's most definitely not his best work.  But GrooGrux, as an album, deals with several issues.  Some of them are familiar and comfortable.  Dave's still a perv, for instance.  Check out "Why I Am, " for instance.  Dave likes  a couple of things with his coffee.  He'd rather do something else.  Other themes pop up.  Like death.  And humanity, its past and its future at its most basic level.  This is where "Squirm" comes in.  It's Dave at his angriest, his loudest and his most honest. This is why true music fans like Dave.  This is why GrooGrux King should fly across your speakers at least once.  

OK.  Enough talking.   Start listening.

 

I've listened to it at least 20 times.  I can't wait for the next 20.  Also, all white russians should be skaken and not stirred, despite popular belief.

Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King

It's been at least 8 years since I've been able to say this. Have you checked out the new Dave Matthews album? Fuckin' should. It's summer, for Christ's sakes.  

Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King.  I don't know what it means.  What I do know is that the album pulls on the same strings that the old Under the Table, Crash and Streets albums did in the wayback days of yore. Back when Birks came close to trendy and I carried a Discman around, carefully (mind the skips). It starts off fun, with an instrumental intro strait to "Shake Me Like A Monkey." It's jazzy, it's funky, it's Band-y. And then there's the single. Here, I found this fun video on YouTube. Great music plus Looney Tunes imagery. Worked before. Let it work here.

I'm going to the concert this summer.  First time in maybe a decade. It should be epic. More comments to come.

By the by, I think it's cool that I've seen most if not all of the Looney Tunes episodes featured in the video above. Just sayin'.
