Political acoustic anti folk from SF’s Phil Dumesnil. Brief short tunes and short clear political messages. Extremely lo-fi aesthetics. This is a collection of 4 EPs ranging from 1998 to 2003 (see track-by-track). The first is the most politically relevant today. The second is a draft for a prison rock opera. The third consists of three covers. The last, as the sleeve says, “is 3 songs long”. Best and most relevant tracks are in the first EP. Favs: 2, 3, 6, 7 (FCC), 13, 14, 17, 21, 26. FCC:2,7,10,11,16 “America is Shit… Just Shit” EP 1. Intro. (2) FCC. Guitar, accordion, nice mellow tune.* (3) Ukulele strumming, recorder, cute lyrics (note the title), mid-tempo.* 4. Take on the famous kids’ song. Slow, mellow. 5. Mid tempo guitar strumming, clapping, “holes in the president’s head”. ((6)) Clear Channel bashing! Excellent. Heavy, acoustic strumming. ** (7). FCC. Of Patriots and privacy and war. FCC “We’re so fucked” but you can fade out after “the leader you did not elect” with 1:25 remaining (last 1:06 clean, as well). Mellow guitar and harp-like towards the end.* 8. Interlude. “Chain me Good EP” 9. Urgent strumming, la-la-la, mid-high tempo. 10. FCC. Fuzzed vocals, distortion, mid-tempo. 11. FCC. Acoustic strumming, sweet keyboards, suicide song. 12. High tempo strumming, about a circus which is the state penitentiary. (13) Guitar picking, sad male and female vocals, slow tempo, “kiss my ass”.* (14) Quirky love song, fast strumming. * 15. Male+female vocals, mid tempo strumming. 16. FCC, mellow strumming. (17) Distorted intro and bridge, fast strumming, about execution, Jesus and pretty boys in heaven.* 18. Slow, background vocals la-la-la’ing. 19. Fast tempo, mellow drums and bass added. 20. Filler. “Copyright Infringement” EP (21) Cover of the famous tune, starts with slow accordion, varies later with some psychedelic guitar.* 22. Drumming over acoustic guitar, fast. Cover of Reed/Velvet. 23. Different, dominant keyboard, distorted. Cover. 24. Filler “Passive Cavity Resonator” EP 25. Drum + strum. Mid/high tempo. 26. * Folk punk, high tempo. 27.
