White Rainbow, Joggers, Capitol Years

Remember [[[[VVRSSNN]]]]? Well, Adam Forkner has a new album/project called White Rainbow, and the disc, ZOME, is out now on States Rights Records. I just ordered it just now, because I love this track:

::: White Rainbow - Guilded Golden Ladies :::

I am hereby nominating the Joggers not only for “Best Album Title” (”With A Cape And Cane“), but also “Best Song Titles”:

“Ziggurat Traffic”
“Yawning Brahmins”
“Night Of The Horsepills”
“Horny Ghost”

Shal Halperin of Philadelphia’s The Capitol Years decided to see how many Philly band names he could name-drop in just one song. He managed to do 35 of them, in just about 6 and a half minutes. And the resulting song really isn’t the bad, gimmicky, stream-of-conch* you might expect; it’s actually pretty good:

::: The Capitol Years - Tale Of The City :::

(* no offense meant toward INXS’s “Mediate”)
