Gleefully crazy/weird jazz/rock. Definitely falls in the avant-jazz bin, but you've got lots of punk-rock attitude and a few outright bluesy or funky tracks. Surf guitar or electric bass accompany snide sax or bass clarinet, often overblown for a screaming attack. Tracks titled "shit" are outright rock instrumentals. You get vocals on tracks 9 and 18.
Brainy, noisy, rocking. Should fit all kinds of shows. Play it! Top choices are 1,2,6,9,11,12,15,17 ... but really, play anything.
FCC safe.
1- Grooving little weird-jazz lick
2- Stomping mid/fast. Gets screaming. Touches of metal
3- Evil low groove
4- Craziness for 20 seconds
5- Coolly low. Fast but relatively easygoing.
6- Snappy fast funk
7- Cute tune that keeps speeding up. Big slow growling intro
8- Slowish catchy tune
9- Weird out-rock w/fem.vocals. Upbeat. Apparently quotes Emily Bronte
10- Like slinky cartoon-cowboy music. Slow, loping.
11- A bluesy jam, with deep deep bass clarinet
12- Cartoony anglular jabbing. Fun and fairly fast.
13- Swingy little tune
14- A fast ramble, rocking, popping
15- Fast and twangy, gets punk-like
16- Surf rock!!
17- Mid/fast, catchy R&B riffing
18- A swipe at a blues love song. Male vocals.
