A spontaneous autobiographical disclosure. A free-form slo-mo listening party. A song a day. Yours to enjoy.

Don't seek the blood from the panther
Moving right along...from the aphoristically-minded Fripp to the equally meditative "brothers" Ween. This is about as perfect a send-up of proggish lyrical muck as you're likely to find, made all the more fun because it comes from a place of genuine affection. It's awfully bonged-out, but it wisely reminds you how necessary it often is to embrace both love and cringing mockery of a musical style at the same time. Somehow, both impulses feel richer in tandem. I'd say a fair bit of SB's aesthetic these days is a result of that dual consciousness. Mang.
We are not in it for the money. Songblague runs on communitarian values, love of music, and a dash of vanity. If you like what you're hearing, please purchase it from one of the remaining retailers who would like to sell it to you.
