  • He's great, really.

    Still miss soul coughing.

  • the other guy is not needed in this song and in all of mikes songs

  • martin, right on brother

  • Mike Doughty was the creative energy behind Soul Coughing. A quick review of their material would reveal that he is an incredible and unique musician. It literally sounds like nothing else.

  • He has such a good voice its like dave matthews! i love it!!

  • i loveee mike doughty he is the absolute bestttt. (; hes cute too, (:

  • Dig the tune. Dig Mike. I think the cello is a miss. Sure, it sounds OK, and it's a bit of a novelty, but this would have sounded better with a real bass register or as a solo singer w/guitar. Speaking of which, the tone on that guitar was so tinny! Maybe it was the mic but the vocals sounded great.

    Performance win, gear fail.

  • ruby vroooooooooooooooom!

  • I like MIke Doty alot always have. Miss Soul Coughing. They broke up when I was still in highschool I think '98??... Or maybe after that. I saw them live back when I was in Highschool. They did the song Soft Serve from their Irresistable Bliss. Probably one of the best live songs I've ever heard.

    I think he signed on with Dave Mathews. That's a shame.

  • do you mean ATO records? why the hell does it matter who puts his records out? apparently your too cool to respect dave matthews and i don't like his music either but there are plenty of great artists on ATO. its not a "shame" that he signed with ATO, its a business. more people will have the chance to hear his music and mike will probably end up making more money and have the chance to put out more music. that's is what you like right? the music? right?

  • Easy there killa...I'm not too cool for anything...No doubt Im all for the music...obviously you're a little more informed than I am so thank you for enlightening me...I only heard part of the story ...and all I remember was hearing Mike Doty and Dave Mathews in the same sentence and it made me cringe. My comments and more or less inquiries not to be taken so seriously just with a grain of salt.

  • I don't know the whole logistics of record deals and who's on what labels anyways. I'm glad to hear his music will reach more people tho...rightfully so the guy is good, real good...Oh and sorry for spelling his name wrong Doughty I have a friend named Doty who spells it like that...Doty...Peace out

  • I love how quickly flamers accrue down-thumbs. Hate on work that actually deserves your ire. Mike is a paragon of musicianship.

  • A paragon of musicianship? That claim implies that you have not been exposed to much quality music. His guitar style, at least in this video, is rudimentary and less than innovative. Seriously, I'm not just trying to be an asshole hater but a paragon of musicianship? That is a mighty bold claim for such a straightforward and strummy piece of music. Look up Dave and Tim at Radio City Music Hall and you'll get yourself some "paragon of musicianship."

  • I miss Soul Coughing.

  • I don't know anything about Mike Doughty, and I never even heard of him until yesterday, when I heard this song on the radio (the "real" studio version, of course) for the first time. It's awesome! Catchiest new song I've heard in the last year. How can anyone NOT like it?! Cool guitar work, catchy chord pattern, wry and funny lyrics, and his what-the-hell vocal style exactly fits the mood of the song. Nice!

  • what don't you get? He writes poetry, plays a guitar, sings and tells jokes all at the same time.

    "You might be the one that I've been seeking for. you might be the strange delightful. You might be the girly who shall end all girls. You might be the sweet unspiteful."

    He's my hero!

  • see him live... you may like him

  • I don't see why that gets thumbs down. I love Doughty to death, but this just isn't as good as it usually is.

  • I used to live with mike back before he was famous i wish that i had spent more time with him.

  • i fucking love it!

  • if youre a real Doughty fan, see the movie Evenhand. He wrote 4 original songs for it, 3 are in the movie, 1 is in the special features, and the dvd has a long interview with him and plays some music too

  • soul coughing is Mike Doughty, lyrics, guitar, melody. He is different and his lyrics are great.I agree sometimes it feels like something is missing but all in all it's good stuff!!The stand up bass in soul coughing deserves a nod too!!

  • he has an awesome voice

  • hate to say it but doughty another guy who rocked harder when he was a junkie. that said, i've seen him solo a couple of times and aside from being grouchy, he was good. love 'american car', too.

  • his guitar has long strings, he used to be in soul coughing, he now writes "elevator music" and ppl shudder when they hear him on the radio

    yet

    i like soul coughing, i like mike doughty, and i really enjoy listening to this song

    (please scroll down the comments before u choose to bash me for that first statement, and if u still do, oh well?)

  • i like maps and atlases! i like baseball!

  • I miss Soul Coughing...

  • I love Jennifers, they're some of my favorite of all the womens.

    This song is missing something though... like that phat upright bass and drums... but don't mention that to Mike or he'll get pissy on you...

  • cut your strings geez

  • that's exactly what i was thinking.

  • Love Mike Doughty. Loved Soul Coughing. This is good stuff.

  • How soul coughing was ever popular was beyond me at the time and there's a million better song writers and performers than M. Doughty. I do like American Car, but damn... run of the mill stuff M-dawgy.

  • I completely agree... I can't stand his songs, I have to switch the radio to 91.1 or KS95 whenever they play him. *shudders*

  • I like Soul Coughing much more than I like Doughty's solo stuff.

    Its become such elavator music.

  • fucking kickass elevators you guys are riding in!

  • im a jennifer! i love it!!!

  • Yayy! My name is Jennifer!! xD
