Slop Punk

My friends idols The Midgetmen have released a new album, of sorts, in celebration of their 10th anniversary.  Dare To Be Stupid, a cover of Weird Al's original.  And then they played it at FFFunfest in beautiful and warm Austin while I was enjoying hurricane Sandy.

I'm listening to it now, join me!

It's sloppy and punky, which is what The Midgetmen have been laser-focused on for their decade run, and they keep on showing off how fun it is.

That's the definition of a "good" band in my book.

I'll reserve "great" for their 11th anniversary, when I challenge them to cover Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon while acting out The Wizard of Oz, in sync to the original, on stage.  Marc as Dorothy, Jon as Scarecrow, Justin as Tin Man and Alex as Cowardly Lion.  You guys can pick which ones of your significant others play the witches good and bad, and I suggest Rich for The Wizard, and of course I'll be the Flying Monkeys and the audience will be the singing Munchkins.

Cheers guys!
