The first 1:45 of this song is a slow walk out on to your front porch, midnight, screen door spilling light behind you. Crickets, the whole bit. But the last 0:26, is an explosion, it sounds like cannons going off, but barely anything has changed. This song has amazing power, and it might be interesting for someone to cover this song, in a version where those cannons come to life, though maybe they should always stay unfired, I don't know.

Jeff - "I Don't Need Your Tas-T"
This is the most accessible track by Jeff on Castle Storm, having a smidgen of melody in the vocals and an understandable riff. But that's all I need from this band, because when it's clear, their talent is direct, obvious, real. This song is as clear as a peanut butter sandwich, and I've been eating peanut butter sandwiches every morning for three weeks now, so don't knock 'em. They keep me alive. [Buy]

Also, if you love PB sandwiches, you would get along very well here at camp.
Posted by Gil at July 31, 2006 10:27 AMI actually bought both of these after hearing the songs. The albums couldn't be more different. but they are both amazing. Jamin Orrall, the drummer from Be Your Own Pet, is half of Jeff and produced Cake Bake Betty, so there's the connection. And all three bands are on a label called Infinity Cat. Thanks for the good advice to listen!
