What Burns Never Returns - Don Caballero
Hooooweee! I'm in the middle of selling one house, buying another. It's a load of 'fun'. I'm not complaining though. Heck, lotsa people can't afford a house at all. But I tell ya, going through an inspection of a house build in 1852 is quite the emotional experience. The good thing is that we found nothing major wrong with it. The bad thing is I now have eight bazillion things to do at the current abode to get it ready for sale.
What's this got to do with Don Caballero? The shifting, jerky and somewhat unpredictable rhythms of this music pretty much parallels (or makes fun of!) the rest of my life. Actually, it's a good musical metaphore for most people's lives.
Besides, I can't help but be drawn to song titles like "In the Abscence of Strong Evidence to the Contrary, One May Step Out of the Way of the Charging Bull".
