And the Tickler Takes His Stickleback

Only a matter of time before serious rock opera music found its way onto this blog.  And I have a heavy urge to get weird and post a song about man eating siren snakes.  But I can't.  It wouldn't be right.  It's not a proper introduction to this album.

There really only is one proper introduction.

Carpet Crawlers is track 10 on disc 1 of The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway.

Poop Ship Destroyer?

I sent an email this morning to Jon from The Spinto Band:

We had an awesome time at 1st Unitarian in Philly on Friday.  I was jumping around like crazy, and Kevin and Kevin, two of Parker's musician friends were 100% into it throughout the show.  After the show we discussed, and we all (Parker, Giuls, Zach, Kevin, Kevin, and I) think you guys should work a Ween cover into your repertoire.

He responded:

We've been working on a 45 minute version of Poop Ship Destroyer.  It's almost ready.

Ambitious.  And true to Ween.  I'd probably go with something a little more crowd friendly.  A bridge song, if you will.  You know, ease people into things.  But if Poop Ship is speaking to you, Spinto, play Poop Ship.  I respect that.

Regardless, Poop Ship or no Poop Ship, I'm going to take Jon's email response as a promise that The Spinto Band will be covering Ween, in the near future, at a smallish concert venue near you. 

I expect The Spinto Band to take this blog post as a challenge.

Back to Basom is track 7 on White Pepper.
