emusic tech problem
the first track has a couple of skips... a bit of digital corruption... in the first 10 seconds.

oh really?
I love Lurie...Two Birds Want To F*#% A Snake, The Snake Is Appalled....classic stuff. I love this album too, and after reading the eMusic profile I just need to add something. Anyone who thought this was full of long lost recordings from an insane African blues musician is whacked. That profile has got to be as tongue and cheek as the actual album. It was released on Lurie's label, with Lurie regulars, and it sounds like Lurie. Drrrrr. Great album though! I'm a doggy!
This is Good!
This is good, but there's nothing fake about John's Jazz.
Lurie without the fake jazz
I'm almost embarrassed to admit this is possibly my favorite John Lurie album. Either this or the Fishing With John soundtrack. But with Marvin Pontiac, Lurie finally gives us what we really want from him (his outsider perspective, charismatic voice, awesome sidemen) without the jazz stylings that, personally speaking, never really persuaded me. "No Kids" in particular stops me in my tracks every time I hear it.
Marvin Pontiac, fictional character
Emusic is sooooo literal! This album is really an incarnation of John Lurie's Lounge Lizards. This fabulous albums, like all of Lurie's work, busts genres into millions of little pieces. You gotcher funk, yer blues, your whole world.... John, where ever you are, whatever you're doing, make more music!
