I find I come back to it in the dead of Winter when it is really cold and people are getting hungry for sunlight again. It has a lot to do with the spare instrumentation, and the lyrics put me in the mind of rather desperate characters keeping it together, only barely.</p><p>I think if there is a reason I don't have it in some regular rotation, it's not a quality issue but more an emotional one. If you're looking for an album that pastes a big, goofy grin on your face, this isn't the one.</p>DwDunphyTue, 06 Oct 2009 06:31:32 -0000http://popdose.com/the-friday-mixtape-10209/#comment-18616438<p>"Criminal Under My Own Hat" is one of my favorite albums...do you know what it is about the album that relegates it to "seldom heard" status for you?</p>CraigoryMon, 05 Oct 2009 21:51:14 -0000http://popdose.com/the-friday-mixtape-10209/#comment-18359582<p>I have fond memories of "Hello Nasty" because my daughter used to love "Intergalactic" when it first came out (she was 2 at the time). Something about the way they emphasized "Flintstone FLOP" or "Mr. SPOCK" used to make her laugh and try and sing along. Plus opening synthesized vocals was an instant attention grabber.</p><p>Oh, and I've never heard anything by Pushmonkey, but I rather like the song you featured here. </p>TedSat, 03 Oct 2009 11:19:32 -0000
