Lime Headed Dog is Joel Cox of Good Shoes fame. Strangely, his MySpace page raises more questions than it answers – what with the porny blog entries and no information it provides. So I’m not sure whether this band is just a fun side project or whether he’s really going to release music under that name, but I’m incredibly impressed with the few songs he’s put up.
When I was a wee ‘boosh, my kindergarten class mates and I got weekly music classes from a hippy-ish looking guy who believed in releasing our inner artiste, so he handed out bells and sticks and tiny cymbals and let us clang away like mini madmen. Individually, the instrumental bits in Lime Headed Dog’s songs sound a lot like those crazy chaotic, unruly kindergarten jam sessions, but there’s a clear method to the madness and it ends up sounding so very exciting. Just listen to “Francis Bacon”. It’s part spoken-word insanity, part experimental bleepy rock, totally wonderful and very different from anything I’ve heard lately.
Lime Headed Dog – Francis Bacon
It’s probably clear by now that this post won’t be showing off my superb researching skillz because I got virtually nothing else to report. So yeah … I don’t know when the song was released, or whether it ever was, but there is a video for it here. There’s also a mind-blowing video called “Reflections Of A Bull” featuring Joel Cox on youtube which is possibly even more scintillating than the song posted here, but, again, I don’t know whether it’s released under Lime Headed Dog or some other name altogether. It’s astounding how inept this post has left me feeling, so if anybody reading this knows more about the band, please do share your knowledge.
