I love that the song about a Newscaster going crazy and either ending the world or just lighting his studio on fire is set to a summer vacation home video.
I'm just listening to this album for the first time and I was struck by how much TMBG influence you can hear throughout. I'm a big TMBG and JoCo fan, but it's a bit weird to hear both their sounds intermingled together like this. Still a great album though.
@DanielRyanHunt Well...one of two things happen at the end of the song. Either the news caster has completely lost his mind and is hallucinating, or he's destroyed the studio with either fire or some fell magics. Either way, sinister things are afoot.
This is SO CUTE! And so funny too- the album is due to be released any second *falls over laughing*. Good boogie board/skimming technique, love the red hawaiin surfer jams!
JoCo's definbately the best musician I've heard of, I listen to a lot of different people but when I'm bored of them I can always go back to JoCo's songs.
*Don't* stop teasing us like this JoCo! I rather like the way this is sort of being released piecemeal, means that it won't all be over in the hour or whatever amount of time it'll take to listen to the full album, but the awesome stretches out over weeks. Still want you to release the damn thing *right now!* (seriously, I have robot-pirate-ninja-ponkeys and I'm only marginally terrified of using them!).
You were enjoying lobster rolls? Didn't you say that these new lobsters were "ugly and small and not tasty at all?"

I can listen to this song and Dissolve all day long. The rest of the album is ridiculously good...but those two songs just nail it in my opinion.
