Why Didn’t I Know This Song on Friday?

Busting up a Starbucks
from Mike Doughty’s Haughty Melodic

Does the man who makes the shoes own you, clown?
You can’t even pry the nameplate off, now can you?
Fix it with your tiny fist there
James Van Der Beek and them sisters from Sister, Sister
The only one that’s ever felt this is you
The force that’s forcing you
To feel like busting up a Starbucks.

Unfortunately, that’s one of the weakest songs on an otherwise wonderful album. I highly recommend “Looking at the World”, “Madeline and Nine”, and “I Hear the Bells.” Hoo, boy, do I hear those bells!

I picked up the album last night, so I’ve been enjoying it for most of the day.  I agree with you pretty much across the board.  Although that brunettes song is awfully catchy, too.

"Tremendous Brunettes”, “Unsingable Name”, and “Your Misfortune” are definitely strong off the bench.

I’m so glad you’re happy with your music purchase. Unsingable Name is my fav off the album, but I love the whole thing. Also- Micah bought the Feist CD yesterday because of seeing how much you loved it here, and because of the song on the Paste sampler. We’ve been enjoying that tremendously. (I’ve got almost too much good music to handle right now.)
