The title of this post is what the percussion section of a Man Man song might sound like and today is the day where you could go out and purchase a new collection of percussion arrangements from my heroes, Man Man.
Listen, I know, I know. You've tried Man Man and you are like Alycia, it scared you and scarred you and scered you too. Here's what I propose. Go see them live. I know, I know, it is a cliche, but it is also the statement that I can give to you that contains the maximum quotient of truth. There is a lot of truth in that statement. Let me give you a sketch of what to expect. Man Man will play for 1 hour. They will not stop playing for 1 hour. They will not give you banter, but they will tell you lots of things. They'll tell you about sadness and a cannibal and heart break. They will tell you about how sadness can become so dense in your chest that it becomes like a black hole, but a black hole that shits diamonds. A black hole that pulls in every little circumstance compresses it and allows you to see what is marvelous about it. They'll do all of this while banging on drums and pianos and doing cartoon voices and playing some kazoos. You've always loved kazoos. Now get out there.
In fact, you can see me "getting out there" back in 2007:
You can also listen to the new album here:

Other notable listens on the site are EMA, the new Okkervil River, the new album from The Antlers, and a bunch of you would probably like the new Fleet Foxes. I wouldn't, but what do I know? I'm a contrarian.
Also, I am an egg.
