Yes. Yes I am.

Excellent. Knock back a few for me.

I thought long and hard about flying out, but ultimately couldn't get the time off work.

I will.

I'd say I do alot for the music scene around here, really I do. But, even on those off days in which I only feel like responding, I'd like to think that at least I *name* the band I'm talking about.

So, what's so special about Slobberbone, anyway? Give me a couple songs to check out. I might not like them, but at least I'd have heard it.

They fuckin' rock.

Anyway, what are my favorite songs? "I Can Tell Your Love Is Waning," a charming ballad of regret, clinical depression, and murder. With a steak knife:

"I can tell your love is waning
By the look and the smell of it,
Like getting caught behind a cattle truck,
And all you smell is shit."

Amy likes "Sixteen Days."

I like "Find The Out" and "Live On In The Dark" from <i>Slippage</i>. "Josephine" is a terrific song. "Lumberlung":

"I dreamed I took a road trip, just me and her,
Through the Southern and the Midwest states.
Turned north just south of Arkansas,
Headed up towards those vast great lakes.

And I thought I'd sleep through Texas,
But I woke up in Illinois.
And the car next to me, was driven by a little boy.
And he smiled at me, and drove straight off the road,
Smacked an overpass, and I watched his car explode."

Those are on <i>Everything You Thought Was Right Is Wrong Again</i>, I think.

Oh, also, "Shoot You Dead":

"Yeah you know I'm getting married,
You heard it throught the air,
You know you're not invited,
But I know that you don't care.
You'll be there with guns
And goofy ribbons in your hair.
So I made me a big ol' sign:
'Crazy jilted hag, beware!'"

Agreed on all, particularly "Lumberlung."

On the more loud guitar rock side, "Placemat Blues" is excellent (believe that's also on "Everything You Thought," which is probably my favorite of their albums. "Bright Eyes Darkened" is always a favorite. "I'll Be Damned" (off "Barrel Chested"). "Can't Stay Sober," which they only play live.

It's pretty hard to go wrong.

They closed their regular set with "Can't Stay Sober." We also got "Lumberlung" as second encore, "I Can Tell Your Love Is Waning," "Give Me Back My Dog," and "Find The Out," among others. No "Josephine" though; great, funny "Pinball Song" with lots of audience participation. Fine show.

But if ever offered the opportunity to see Two Cow Garage...don't.
