Real Talk Tuesdays: Atmosphere

DateTuesday, March 6, 2012 at 9:00AM

I love to praise this Minneapolis band but today it's time to pick on them. Sean Daley has been influential to me not only as a lyricist but as an independent midwestern musician. They have certainly grown and mellowed but in the early days, Sean was accused of being a tad mysoginistic. However, on the 2002 cut "Like Today" (from Lucy Ford) Slug embarassingly misprounounces Ani DiFranco while trying to express his love for "all women" (@ the 1:32 mark). Nothing looks worse than trying to branch out from your own genre only to show that you don't know what you're talking about. Oops.

"from Anne Landers, to Ani DiFranco to Orphan Annie
I love all women, but most of them just can't stand me"
