Lambchop
“Grumpus”

I noticed that inthefade is posting songs and ephemera surrounding our date in song, viz. the date being 4/19 and song lengths being 4:19.

Some of my song lengths are weird for reasons, but I think this one should be pretty legit. It’s my second- or third-favorite Lambchop song, I think, but it’s the one I’ve most listened to while I was high, to think about how the guitar lead told me all sorts of cool things about the world if I could follow it with my “mind’s eye,” as it were.

But anyway, this is such a cool song. It’s my Sunday Best, snappy-dressed Silver Jews. The ones you’re going out to a big breakfast with after church, and then play catch in the yard while some of the other ones are drinking beer or coffee and talking in the kitchen. Given the band is so damn big, I can’t help think it’s nicer, too. Or maybe they all get really high and come up with this oddly affecting pieces of music that make world-breaking sense to high people.
