Batshit briliant

Opening an album with a song that's basically Woody Woodpecker's laugh looped at two different speeds with some xylophone, crappy keyboard sounds and crazyfying beats? That Dan Deacon surely is a bold musician...or just plain batshit crazy.

Helium voiced scream anthems, nintendo happy hardcore and techno drums, yet integrated in great pop songs. His album 'Spiderman of the Rings' is a bit like the not-quite backwards-dancing dwarf from Twin Peaks; it freaks you the hell out but you just can't stop watching/listening.

Not as unlistenable as you might expect: Dan Deacon - Crystal Cat (mp3)

Again not as unlistenable as you might expect: Dan Deacon - Wham City (mp3)

    Ha! Daar had ik dus wat eerder over moeten schrijven (Torrent gedownload op: 19 mei 2007 :-) Als je Dan Deacon leuk vind moet je ook mijn volgende post maar even lezen.

    Hij is op 20 december in de Melkweg, maar dan zit ik waarschijnlijk in Duitsland :(

    His live shows are supposed to be spectacular, I'll try to be there.
