Best album=Rain Dogs

If you don't have Rain Dogs, download it immediately...

Creepiest album of all time. Incredible. Raggety voice. Lo-fi. Dirty.

A ship of drunken misfits take to the seas. One eyed dwarves. Accordions. Elephant bone percussion. Croaky sea dogs awww. Inner city junkyard voyeurism. I've seen it alllll through the windows of the morning subway, I've seen it all.

[Rob_Floyd]

It is definitley one of the creepiest albums ever.

The captain is a one eyed dwarf....

[reggie jax]

what kind of music is he?

[taste_u]

Good question...

Fuckloads of styles - united by creepiness. Pretty indefinable. Bourbon-soaked street tramp mingling with the misfits of society as he roams docks and metallic deserted junkyards, seeing it all, would be a good description of his best work.

What can I say, music is awesome.

All I know about this man is that Claypool recorded with him a few times, and that he has one of the coolest voices ever.

i was getting nervous when two genesis fans liked this guy but he is suprisingly really cool. i repeat; it's cool people. no need to be alarmed.
