I feel as though I could have done a better job making sure you knew that, seeing as I'm supposed to be running their Facebook page.

In the drawer with the take-out menus.

Yes. I really need to get new foam things on them, but I don't think that affects the sound.

When you think about it, "ear bud" is a pretty digusting phrase.

Or "Air Bud". Was that just a failed attempt to get Anheuser-Busch to fund a whole movie, or did someone actually think it was a good idea?

(I fear I may have actually seen it, but don'tt rightly recall.)

14: So did I. And then I fast-forwarded to about 2/3rds of the way through and listened for a few seconds and it was still OK. And then I did something else.

I am a little bit sorry to be part of a world which is a source of continuing disappointment for neb. But not that sorry.

I finally listened to the video in the OP, and I agree, it is pretty awesome.

I was wary after the first minute, but I'm glad I continued listening.

I had no idea there was such a thing as an Edmund Welles, and now I know that is exactly what was missing in my life. Yay!

Add another into the "really like it" column. I think I'll buy an album of theirs.

For some reason, his off-key singing is too irritating for me to get through more than a minute of. Usually this quality in singers doesn't bother me so much.

I love the clarinet and especially the bass clarinet. Even the … contrabass clarinet.

The only good part was rolling papers were a legit cleaning tool for a clarinet.

What keeps that kind of hat in place? Is there a structure within, or is it just friction + gravity? If you turn your head quickly enough, will the hat stay in the same orientation wrt the surroundings?

I think I would enjoy this better with a slightly more pleasant-voiced singer. Is it any smoother on recordings?

Sorry, k-sky.

He is the opposite of a crooner in that recording -- it sounds like he's singing close to full volume and sacrificing tone and subtlety.

I like his performance (though something about the robes and the hat and the lighting makes me think of Big Trouble In Little China -- perhaps I'm thinking of this hat) but for the energy not the technique.

Judge for yourself, JRoth.

That's the only track on the album that has singing at all.

Also, I'm pretty sure hats like that are held in place by under-chin straps.
