Indie Boy

I know everyone has heard of The Moldy Peaches (you know, that cute Juno song), but I am here to destroy those happy images, that these guys are a bunch of cutesy indie pop musicians. Who’s Got The Crack, starts with their campside sing along style and a slow, slightly distorted guitar. It moves to the chorus; “Whoooooooooo’s got the crack?”. As you can see, their passionate and quite unnerving singing can’t really be translated through text. As the song keeps moving, the informal arrangement becomes more chaotic, with more absurd lyrics and the gain moving unhealthy too much to the right. “I want to be a garbage man but a sailor stole my gloves” and “I am a goat in a moat”, are some of the strange lines (but not the strangest) in the song. A fantastic track, I don’t think it could really be made any better. The Libertines covered it in one of their demos before the realease of their second album, and isn’t quite as good as the original, unless you are a die-hard Libertines fan. It would have been amazing to have seen them live, but sadly, that will never be.

Thanks to Minneapolis Fucking Rocks for the file! Since I have been having a couple more hits than normal, I have removed it.
