Grand Ole Party Is The Best Kind of Party

So, I'm a bit behind the times as Grand Ole Party's Humanimals actually came out in 2007, but it's my favorite thing this year, so fuck it. The album starts out with Look Out Young Son, a track that I can't resist moving to with such rad lines as I must be the devil's daughter / What a dark father to dwell in me & Bastard child that I am / You can see it in my swagger / In the palmist's lines of my hands / And my lips that bud like daggers.

Sure, it's simple. Maybe even simplistic, but I'm a sucker for simple truths and true beauties. Oh, and also for gorgeous girls like Kristen Gundred with deep, soulful, powerhouse voices, which bring me to my knees. If that wasn't enough, she's the drummer too. I mean, fuck if I can resist a female drummer - then you make her all super hot and give her the voice of a sexy siren from hell. Fuck dude. I am her prisoner.

Check this video for Look Out Young Son.

Nasty Habits has a soft spot in my heart. It's an awesome track that totally speaks to me. It makes me feel better about my ridiculous martyr tendencies, but more than that it makes me feel like I can kick the shit out of those ghosts of mine. Love, lust, nasty habits / Make us who we are - just listening to those lyrics is a reminder to me to chill out on myself 'cause all the bullshit I am, everything that frustrates me about myself is still me. It's all me and that ain't no kinda bad thing.

When did you decide to please forever? / And always brush aside your secret pleasures? /Did you think your dreams were best as buried treasure?

I guess maybe I did, but I sure as shit know I'm trying to stop doing that now.
