There isn't a "clever" song or a "serious" song or a "funny" song, the best ones have all those elements right next to each other, which is a better reflection of reality. If you guys don't have "Final Battle" from 2004 try to find that one, I thought that was a pretty nice return to form. I will say that his hip-hop performance at Fez during CMJ 2000 (?) was utterly ridiculous. But he looks aight in a wife beater.

I just pulled out <em>Graham Smith Is The Coolest Person Alive</em> (I think it's his first LP) again and had my mind re-blown. I love G.S., despite his flameout, and am glad to learn of this new release. OMG THX Crazy.
