Ok so this is bizarre. I was working on school stuff Saturday evening. I had no motivation. I was worn out. It was late and I had just turned on the study tunes, hoping they would assist me. They didn't. I threw on Moby and some other soft stuff. I liked it and I smiled, but I certainly didn't increase my work output. For some reason that I'm not entirely sure of, I next decided that The Bloodhound Gang would be next on my playlist. I had only heard the song "The Bad Touch," but I guess I thought the whole album would be worth a spin. I wasn't doing anything else worthwhile so I had nothing to lose. And let me tell you: I was blown away. It was absolutely hilarious. It was raunchy and inappropriate and juvenile and disgusting, but boy did I have a fun time listening to it. I mean, the album is entitled "Hooray for Boobies," so it's not like I didn't know what I was going to be in for. The rhymes were so goofy and laden with late '90's pop culture references over a rap/metal/Beastie Boys style beat. I think the sound was reminiscent of Cake, but with much less brass and more cursing and joking around. I've been listening to the album pretty much nonstop for the past few days, especially the less school-friendly ones. Boy it's a lot of fun!
Isn't it cool when you find new music? You can't ever get enough. You're searching for more, looking for another chance to listen or to discover or to have a conversation about it. I can't quite explain it, but it's wonderful when it happens.
