Some pairings are odd, and some are odd, but just make sense. Case in point - the Captain Howdy, a collaboration between Kramer (longstanding acid pop experimentalist and facilitator; no, not the Seinfeld dude) and Penn Jillette (yes, the guy with Teller). I believe both are under-appreciated. And I think this song finds their their strengths in perfect harmony — brain-massaging psych track backing a monologue charming told. There's some useful truth in it too. Even on Songblague, I long for Songblague.The Captain Howdy - I Long For Kyoto
A truly odd track.
ReplyDeleteFactoid: "Captain Howdy" is the pseudonym of the demon Pazuzu who at first befriended--then possessed the body of Regan in The Exorcist.
