Oh this is just awful! At least some others who push out vacuous drivel make catchy tunes, e.g. Michael Franti.

I take it all back, Bill.  Just the other day I wrote that some song I can't even remember was/is the most annoying cut on your playbill.  But I lied!  Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.  THIS track is it, the "MacArthur Park" and "In the Year 6565" of the 21st Century.  I know it's a little early on, but TAE is a real contender, it's got legs.

Mr. Arthur opened for Nada Surf not long ago in New York and I have to say I was pretty impressed by his imaginative arrangements and dramatic stagecraft.

This song makes me feel icky, whether it's the driving drums, or ethreal loop in the backround coupled with the silly striking of the bell in the backround I don't know it's all so seemingly hopeless. The fact that his spoken word style is slightly slurred doesn't help either.  Just ugh.

Then the repetiveness drives it to yet a further low.

Quick write it's "Epitaph" King Crimson (the next song in the play list so fittingly timed by our maestro)

Joseph Arthur's stuff is great. Original, visceral, too real for too many, apparently. Interesting.

I thought it was pretty bad, but then the chorus really picked things up

The web site paused noticeably when this song started because there were so many requests for PSD.

First time hearing, and I love it.  Lyrics, music, harmonies, all of it.  Thumb's up on the spoken word from this geezer.

Wow, who's showing their age here?  I don't like something you like so I'm old?  And if I'm old, I can't like anything new?  Ah, at that tragically hip age I see, and from Boulder to boot.  'Splains everything.

Generalizations don't work so well, do they?

Oh hey, Allman Brothers!  NOW I'm feeling better!

Right on bro ... you aren't any different than that guy. Take shoes off, take everything out of your pockets, all your pockets. Now take off your belt. Next your jacket. Oh still got your watch on, that too. wow, take out your cell, your computer. Throw that calculator into. What you got a problem... you are different. Into the full body scanner for you.

I've never liked songs where the 'singer' speaks all or most of the way through (which is why I loathe rap and all its descendants), with the possible exception of William Shatner because that's tongue-in-cheek and fun. This is way earnest and just plain irritating. The backing and chorus are fine, but I can't be doing with his voice. Can a spoken voice be out of tune? Sure sounds like it on this one. 2 from the Nottingham jury.
 
I just saw the words loathe rap and thought, this is worth bumpin'.  I could not agree more.  {#Clap}

So provocative, yet resonating with inspiration and wisdom (despite the drum beat).

Was liking it so much more before the awful drumbeat - actually it seems to get worse as it goes on for me and I am losing interest so much i can't be bothered to

Make that repeated crotch punches. The ending, though welcome, is torturous.
