| Got to chime in here as well. While the review touched on it briefly (and rightfully so, since it is a review of the record), I have to stress just how bizarre this guy's live show is. Andy Kaufman isn't exactly the right slant to imply, but the sheer joy I recieve when he (Kaufman) lip-syncs to the Mighty Mouse theme song after sitting there patiently kind of sums it all up nicely. I am not a fan of a lot of the stuff coming out of this scene, but Deacon couldn't be a better figure-head. Think more force of nature than pop(culture)-damaged exploiter or dilettante. The joy is real, and his off-the-cuff live rants and antics are worth cheering for all on their own. Not really my thing, but undeniable. In a way my life would be better if I could fully embrace this, and yours too. |
