The Dinner is Ruined

Ray Charles Kinda Party

Sonic Unyon

Big chaotic noisy sound crashing out. Like prog rock recorded in a bad garage. Sometimes falling into distorted Beatlesque craziness, like outtakes from some Sgt. Pepper session, and then sometimes almost melancholy and minimal, pulling out feelings like a sad country radio song filtered through indie rock ears. Included is a nice cover, sounding almost like The Butthole Surfers meets Smog in some backdoor dive bar lounge, of Ma Rainey’s “Shave ‘Em Dry Blues.”

John Wayne’s final movie sees the cowboy actor go out on a high note, in The Shootist, one of his best performances.
