happy american canada day, america. Jon: I heard this song on CBC radio 3. Me: Play it. Jon: There. (snapping, surfing, guitars and cigarillo-smoking, bomber-jacket-in-summer wearing, swaggering frenchmen bring more bareknuckle rhythms and megaphone filters than I'm ready for.) Me: Woah. [Site] ***** Ghosty - "Clouds Solve It" (featuring Wayne Coyne) I feel guilty posting only this song by Ghosty. Like having Wayne Coyne is the only thing that makes it good enough. In fact, quite the opposite: he ruins this song. But that's what makes it good (irony? sincerity!). I think he's supposed to be adding back-up vocals (or perhaps they're trying to turn an obvious solo into a duet) but he ends up taking over in a heavy, stumbling manner that just spins quietly out of control (you can feel it turn, right at the sour note). It's as if Ghosty is trying to play their song and Wayne Coyne jumped up on stage and started making fun of their lyrics. But it seems to be all in good fun, so let's all have fun too.
