Twice recently I've been really impressed with the B-52s. The first time was at Staples when I decided "Roam" was the best song on the radio there. The second time was in Trois Brasseurs in Montreal, when "Love Shack" played and I told Pattie, with the kind of wonder only kids and drunks can feel, that this was the most perfect song ever ( Read more... )

"Funplex" their new album is actually pretty... you know... "good" isn't the right word here. But it is very them. The week it went for adds I probably heard it about ten billion times on rotate at the Pirate! offices. They know they're a bit of a novelty act, but fuck it. They're still making fun music and rhyming "g-spot" with "rest stop".

I like the way their songs are arranged. And I'm not sure I'd call them a novelty act just because they're fun. But then, I never thought of Atom and His Package or Gogol Bordello as novelty acts. I actually had an aversion to Beck's "Midnite Vultures" when it came out because if felt like novelty music and I took things too seriously to enjoy it.

But I got over that.

Yeah... "novelty" was the wrong word choice on my part. They're 100% fun all the time though. They're like if all REM ever did was "Shiny Happy People" or something.
