  Seven Songs for the Week #159 - 22nd Apr 26

  Jason Carty

  New TMBG album this week, and it's been a while since I've picked up one of their new albums on release day. There's a lot to love on The World Is To Dig. It opens with its oddest track: Back In Los Angeles. I had wondered if Brooklyn's ambassadors of love had softened towards the West Coast, but I needn't have worried. Back In Los Angeles is a mocking, woozy effyoo to LA:

  "Say hello to the boys on Vandersnipe Boulevard
  Bring a sandwich and a gun cause you never can tell
  Which one you're gonna need when the snakes descend
  Put me down for skeleton removal
  It's great to be back in Los Angeles
  Where ladies wear hundred-gallon hats"

  Yay/. TMBG.
