gonna take a boat to the end of the world

Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King was released today, and I must say, this album is something. Quite a few of the songs have a real 'Louisiana Bayou' feel to them. It's all very jazzy, very funky, and definitely a good summer album. At this point, my top three tracks are: 1. Why I Am 2. Shake Me Like a Monkey 3. You and Me But, let's take two steps back for a moment. I just want to mention last night's concert, real quick like. Keeping things short and sweet, DMB played live at the Beacon Theatre last night and it was televised nationwide on Fuse. It was mainly a way to hype their album, which was released less than two hours after the concert was over. My only complaint was that they played so many new songs right from the get go. I really wish that they had mixed it up just a little more. But, like I said, it was to hype the new album. He opened with 'Funny the Way it is' but did not neglect some old favorites including 'Two Step' (the song that made me fall in love with DMB), 'Ants Marching' and 'Grey Street' (my all-time favorite song. I get chills every time I hear it.). Overall, a pretty spectacular performance. The whole band seemed to be having a lot of fun with it and, let's face it, that funky white boy dancin' Dave and Stefan were doing was wicked.
