(coll): Meat/BAR A set of songs from Infernal Bridegroom Productions, an under-ground theatre group in Houston. These songs were part of a play about barflies called "Songs from the Meat/BAR" and has songs by Houston-area musicians that were associated with the theatre group at one time or another. As you might expect from a play about drinking and dive bars, the songs definitely have a wee-hours feel to them -- scratchy Tom Waits-esque howls, drunken emotional ballads, and cursing. It's sort of as if Brecht/Weill met in Houston instead of Germany. PICKS: 11, 10, 13, 6, 8 FCCs: 1,4,5, 9 1. sweet female singer/songer ballad – FCC - "fuck" 2. jazzy trumpet + bari sax -- jug band/funk 3. female singer, poppy indie ballad 4. FCC "fuckin" many times 5. great Waits-esque drunken ballad, but alas, FCCs. 6. slow ballad -- female jazz singer + keyboards -- good 7. big bass lines, then keyboards 8. goofy song about God eating cheese 9. cheery hooks -- FCC "fuck" 10. instrumental -- trombone, slide guitar 11. accordion!! washboard!! cajun/jug band song about driving home after drinking, so not exactly PC -- but great!! 12. drums + samples + slide trumpet -- somewhat jazzy/trip-hop 13. slow instrumental with piano and wailing trombone --good 14. female country-esque ballad 15. reprise of track 4 -- | ||
