The Parka 3 - "What's The Question"
This is a Parka 3 song. And I like them. But, there's this other band called La Guerre Des Tuques, and they play Parka 3 songs, but in such a way that I like LaGuerre waaaaay better. So, since I can't post a song by them yet, I'll post a Parka 3 song instead. So this is a great song, it really is, but imagine it played with like 6 percussionists (shakers, little toms, soft bass) and a clarinet, still sung with the same marvelous monotone. Yeah..magic. [more!]
This band is so much fun. Although, they're so...intense (for lack of a better) that it seems like they're having fun despite their best efforts not to. I would have bought their album on the spot, but they only had vinyl. I mean, I understand what cool is and all (note: I DO NOT understand that) but come on. If you're going on tour, bring SOME cds. [Buy it anyway!]
Keeping on the 'medieval' feel of the last song, here's a great Pavement song. [Buy the Crooked Rain reissue, make Stephen Malkmus rich!]
note: I (Dan) am not making this post to appease anxious commenters. I simply think these bands all deserve more attention, and everyone needs more music.
