BOAT - Lets Drag Our Feet - mp3 review
August 1st, 2007 r8e8rcomI’m standing in this deli today waiting by the sandwich counter deciding if I want anything. I see this guy walk in. He has this terribly angry look on his face like hes going to kill anyone that gets in his way. He catches the eye of a loud boisterous brooklyn-goon-type guy in line. They each make eye contact and its on. Neither breaks eye contact feeling their alpha-male dominance is being threatening or some other stupid fucking reason I guess. The angry guy keeps walking turning his head to maintain eye contact, his face getting angrier with each step. He’s careful not give any sign of submission until, BAM, he walks right into me. As soon as this happens the fat brooklyn guy bursts out laughing and hells, “you stupid fucking idiot”. The angry guy quickly collects himself and hurries to the back of the deli, careful not to make eye contact with anyone else. Social behavior is so weird sometimes.
Hey, has everyone heard the new interpol already? Should I send some out. Lemme know.
BOAT began as a basement dream of one D. Crane when he moved back to Seattle from a miserable stint in Chicago. BOAT’s current lineup is the epitome of sloppy/poppy three piece rock. It features J. Goodman playing maniacal drum fills/tasteful tambourines/shakers and bells/and keyboards/all this while shouting backup vocals and la las/M. McKenzie playing McCarteney-esque bass and guitar as well as having the most silky smooth backup vocals in all of music/ and D. Crane playing guitars and keyboards and shouting and singing lyrics about lanterns, rainbow shoelaces, his hatred of Chicago, and ninjas. The touring lineup of BOAT features Ian Bone of Sacramento, CA as the utility man. I grabbed these tracks from the insound digital store, from the release ‘Lets Drag Our Feet’ on Magic Marker Records.
