They Say...
John Lurie is a brilliant and amusing musician, and his work with his band the Lounge Lizards strikes a nice balance between his sensitive musicianship and his wit. He masquerades here as the legendary (and fictitious) blues nutcase Marvin Pontiac. The West African-inspired "Small Car" is a charming song, while others, like "I'm a Doggy," border on precious.
“ The indie iTunes — Hardcore music fans are migrating to eMusic, the iTunes Music Store's cheaper, cooler cousin.”
