Album Description A pencil can be sharp and it can be used to write a mash note to some distant object of affection who will perhaps read it and then erase the unwanted text away or it can be used to poke a hole into your palm and draw blood or it can scribble out a long list of imagined signs and signals until it becomes dull with use or snaps and needs to be sharpened again which can only happen so many times until you are left with a stub that is useless for jotting down even a simple shopping list or a dream fading from memory and quickly dashed off in notes that you know are inaccurate but even as you get swept up in self-criticism you feel the dream escaping your once-trusty memory. That said, humor is the only weapon we have. We have felt its sting and we are ready to sting back. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsSeriously, you want this album Seth Mahoney | 09/11/2002 (4 out of 5 stars) "Lets Pope: So people will think the album is about foreskin and the Olson Twins
cafard75: it is! Lets Pope: Yes, but people don't think it is! cafard75: that's what "Turned Off" is all about cafard75: it's really "The Olsen Twins Meet Foreskin" Lets Pope: I've heard people saying it is about the left Olsen twin and circumcision, which is not the same as the Olsen twins and foreskin cafard75: the "left" Olsen twin? Lets Pope: Yes Lets Pope: Or, if you prefer, the sinister Olsen twin cafard75: do they always stand on the same side? cafard75: heh! Lets Pope: Maybe! Who can tell? cafard75: i can't cafard75: i have no idea Lets Pope: Neither can I cafard75: that's what "Acknowledge Your Folly" is aboutAll semiconfusing conversations aside, this is probably the best album ever recorded down the street from a Walgreens, and certainly the best recorded down the street from the Walgreens on Belmont street. That is, the Belmont street in Portland, Oregon. It is, however, safe to say that it is the best album recorded down the street from the Walgreens on any Belmont street unless there is a Belmont street in Vatican City in which case it is not safe to say. Playfully phrased and wittily (is wittily a word, and if so does it mean "full of wit" or "with wit" or something like that?) worded, this is definately an album to add to your collection, and absolutely definately a band to see live if you ever get the chance. I would have given it five stars had they covered The Girl From Ipanema." |
