We Say...
"Discovered" by Mojo Nixon and produced by Jim Dickinson, the Dick Nixons are not only really funny, they're good musicians — or at least good enough. The band swallowed a large dose of punk rock but they're also part folk and bad pop, and they make it a great combo; their one and only album to date remains a pleasure long after its release, not to mention long after the death of the band's disgraced anti-hero. Half of Paint the White House. . . is composed of Nixon paeans like "Tricky Dick (Was A Rock-n-Rolla)" — the band claims to have wanted him to run again in 1992 — and they're as diverse as they are hilarious, so much so that one wishes bandleader Kirk "The Jerk" Springstone would find a new obsession and make another album about it. Besides the Nixon material, they pair the tune from the classic Chef Boy-R-Dee Ravioli commercial with a cover of "Red Red Wine"; there may not be a better version of "Knock Three Times" ever recorded; and their shambling cover of Kenny Rogers' "Lucille" lasts barely over a minute, which is short enough to keep the smile it brings from turning to a frown.
“ The indie iTunes — Hardcore music fans are migrating to eMusic, the iTunes Music Store's cheaper, cooler cousin.”
