Cannibal Courtship EPK
Cannibal Courtship, the new album by Dengue Fever, is good. But it's not as good as this. Or this. Or this. A deliberately kitschy homage to vintage Cambodian pop, the album is a lot of fun. Much of it, however, is just plain wacky. Even though I'm down on Cannibal Courtship, I hope I get a chance to see the band this year. I'll be the guy hollering for "Cement Slippers", my favorite song on the new album.

I love the lady, but I absolutely detest Emmylou Harris' latest release. So whiny!

I have been captivated by their compilation "Dengue Fever Presents Electric Cambodia." It's so good. Need to dig deeper in the actual band's stuff.
I hadn't even known that existed. Listening now, thanks.
I stalk/influence the Joco Library's acquisitions. Don't know if they cringe or genuinely smile when I enter the building.
