First up, Sweden's indie pop
Komeda did "Happyment" from their 1998 album
What Makes it Go? (
iTunes,
Amazon) which is their best. Next we heard two short songs by UK pop duo
Pipas' best album
A Cat Escaped (
iTunes,
Amazon),
2002 "Rock and-or Roll" and "Barbapapa". Then for something completely different, perhaps the best, certainly one of the most prolific, Brazilian samba pioneer
Nelson Cavaquinho did "Nao Vem" from his acustic bossa nova record from 1977 called
Quatro Grandes Do Samba (
Amazon). And finally a couple of songs from Athens, Georgia'
Casper & the Cookies' new album
The Optimist's Club (
HHBTM,
Stick Figure). We heard "Barking in the Garden of Ill Repute" and "Duchamp's Camera". To finish out this episode of
TSiMH, another track from
Komeda's
What Makes it Go? (
iTunes), we heard "It's Alright, Baby".
This week's episode features two clips featuring the evil, crazy bitch Ann Coulter. The first from the Late Show with David Letterman (watch), the second from the CBC's program The Fifth Estate hosted by veteran journalist Bob McKeown (watch the whole special).
