I Think I Caught the Bug

Longtime Frenz Jonder of jonderblog infamy commented on the recent Soul Coughing share that there were a few tunes he really liked if I was planning on a follow-up cough. Since I seem to have caught "The Bug", I'm coughing right now.

For any die-hard, this one is pretty much filler. If you have their albums you have these except maybe the last two. If you're not already a true fan, this is a great place to dive into these yahoos.

It was 30 Years Ago Today that I Coughed my Soul Away

See, M. Doughty ain't the only one who can write stream-of-consciousness stuff. 

 

Been relistening to all my Soul Coughing material lately & decided to share this one today.
If you're not familiar with this crazee band, you're in for a treat, This is one of my top releases, right up there with Beefheart & Magic.

Soul Coughing was an American alternative rock band composed of vocalist/guitarist Mike Doughty, keyboardist/sampler Mark Degli Antoni, bassist Sebastian Steinberg, & drummer Yuval Gabay. Their sound is a idiosyncratic mix of improvisational jazz grooves, oddball samples, hip hop, electronics, & noisy experimentalism". 

Doughty himself sez: "This is deep slacker jazz". 

 

The group appropriately broke up in 2000. They could only have existed in the 90s (or the near future???).
