Just sitting at my desk designing yet another marketing piece and this ethereal music comes on and I know..... it's Big Head Todd and the Monsters. There's something very smooth, Steely Dan-like, about their music. Like fine champagne.... (sigh......)
Thanks RP.. I needed something to inspire me for the next hour!!!

BHTM have seemed really reenergized on tour lately. Worth checking out anytime they are playing near you.

Sorry about your car, chasbro - and thanks for the laugh, Businessgypsy!  Ok, that beats all comments past and future! I wrecked a car once, but have NO idea what was playing. Do know what was playing when my ex walked out the door....READY?..."Stand By Me". For reals. |

RedPR wrote:Wow. And look at that albumn cover—-kind of cool. Who says we have a urban sprawl problem. and like the song too. Thanks RP. If I'm not mistaken, the location of the photo is Sioux City, IA (but I'm not 100%). Sioux City certainly doesn't have a sprawl problem. actually.. the photo credits on the album says Todd took that himself.. as well as the rest of them on the jacket.. |

Anybody hear these guys playing before and after Hillary Clinton spoke at the DNC last night? It was the only thing that I actually paid attention to, actually.

All time favorite band. Period. Every song's amazing, from the late '80s to the new album out now. And live, they're absolutely incredible -- check them out.

Having seen him in a small bar in Boulder, CO, I can say that he is a big man. His head (the one on his shoulders) didn't seem abormally large. Can't say anything about the other one, though. 8-) |

... A huge muscular man walks into a bar and orders a beer. The bartender hands him the beer and says,
"You know, I'm not gay but I want to compliment you on your physique, it really is phenomenal! I have a question though, why is your head so small?"
The big guy nods slowly. He's obviously fielded this question many
times. "One day," he begins, "I was hunting when I got lost in the woods. I heard someone crying for help and finally realized that it was coming from a frog sitting next to a stream. So I picked up the frog and it said, "Kiss me. Kiss me and I will turn into a genie and grant you 3 wishes." So I looked around to make sure I was alone and gave the frog a kiss.
POOF! The frog turned into a beautiful, voluptuous, naked woman. She said, "You now have 3 wishes." I looked down at my scrawny 115 pound body and said, "I want a body like Arnold Schwarzenneger."
She nodded, whispered a spell, and POOF! there I was, so huge that I ripped out of my clothes and was standing there naked!
She then asked, "What will be your second wish?"
I looked hungrily at her beautiful body and replied, "I want to make sensuous love with you here by this stream."
She nodded, laid down, and beckoned to me. We then made love for hours! Later, as we lay there next to each other, sweating from our glorious lovemaking, she whispered into my ear, "You know, you do have one more wish. What will it be?"
I looked at her and replied, "How about a little head?"
I wonder if Todd has heard this joke? |

I'm not sure I'd agree with this, but I do agree that the two bands compliment one another rather well. I actually saw The Dave Matthews Band and Big Head Todd & the Monsters back in 1996 at Penn State. What a GREAT show that was... back before either band really made it very big. The show was in a mostly empty gym, and I think the tickets were only 10 bucks.
I saw the same lineup in '  96 in Salem, OR. What a great show. DMB, in particular, was a different (much better) band prior to all the fame, but Big Head Todd has always kept it real. |
