Lowdown Monkey Blues

Let's quit monkeying around!

Gettin' our shit together, but just so all y'all know we haven't forgotten about ya (though you may have forgotten about us)!

Today, it's another in our world famous series of "Greatest Song Ever Written (at least for today)". 

Nuthin' much to say about this one, other than it's Tom Waits and The Replacements, two of 'Merica's greatest treasures.  From a bootleg of the  the session that gave us "Date To Church", which we assume y'all have heard by now.  Man, to have been a fly on the wall for this span of recording...


Tom Waits and Paul Westerberg tradin' verses?...heaven!

There's a bit of a kerfuffle at the end of the track...it's a bootleg, whaddya want?  Support yr local whatever, man!

Santa's a Cry Baby

Got plenty of Holiday cheer? Well, we're here to bring you down. Oh, yes.

We had so much positive response from last year's session involving downer tunes for the Yuletide season, we decided to add some new weepers to the mix.

Nothing beats a cheese log at Xmas, so Jimmy Martin, Jimmie Davis, Johnny Paycheck, and Doye O'Dell have joined forces to send y'all spiraling into the nether regions of depression and/or fits of laughter.

To make up for the treacle, we've got some super nifty bonus re-posts. Three of the Mountain's biggies, no less. Each one essential. Yep, it's a jungle rhythm theme with classic Christmas tunes from The Marquees, rockabilly maestroJack Scott, and god's favorite band, The Replacements. Can it get any better than that?

Santa's A Weepy Bastard.
