or something

Long story shortened; was listening to Triple J, heard a song, searched fragmented lyrics, found out it was Roll Bus Roll by Jeffrey Lewis, of whom I had never heard before, he wrote a Senior Literary Thesis on the graphic novel Watchmen and here are some songs. He seems to have been ampersanded onto the front of several little outfits, the songs are like stream-of-consciousness a bit like Why? at times, but not too complicated, sing-song-y, not-quite-folk, with some humour/societal comment, etc. "Anti-folk", they call it. A bit interesting.


I investigated, and liked; Don't Be Upset off the album City and Eastern Songs.

Don't Be Upset - Jeffrey Lewis

and I Ain't Thick It's Just A Trick from 12 Crass Songs

I Ain't Thick It's Just A Trick - Jeffrey Lewis and The Jitters

so much anti-materialist pain behind his eyes...
