New Music Thursday

Listening to Alpocalypse. Figured I owed it to Al after all the joyous hours he gave me as a youth.

I wasn't blow away with the first few tracks. I found myself struggling too hard to identify the inspiration for a parody or the relevance of the lyrics. Clearly a bunch of songs didn't get the formal buy in from the original artist and the music was changed just a bit too much to be clearly recognizable, "Skipper Dan" took .

"Polka Face" is priceless. Anytime pop music is played with an accordion it makes me smile. You gotta listen to this one.

While "Craigslist" is vintage Al, riffing on the Doors seems a little dated.

"Party in the CIA" might be great or it could just be my love of that one piece of Miley's repertoire. Who doesn't get fired up by "Staging a coup like, yeah!"?

Overall, it's about what you'd expect, but if that's what you're in the mood for, it's worth a listen.
