Favoriting Merrily We Roll Along with MHLee: Playlist from June 3, 2024 Favoriting

MHLee's avatar View MHLee's profile Favoriting

Merrily We Roll Along is a mish-mash of high energy lunacy, reverence, and irreverence for forgotten pop stars, love for Saturday morning cartoons, and exploration of the side of Bandcamp where I seem to be the only one purchasing. Bringing to you the odd and the upbeat from a growing collection of pre-rock novelties, classic and neo-Vaudeville, jug bands, polka, klezmer, and more at the convenient hour of 8-9 AM EST, Merrily We Roll Along starts the day off with a little light-hearted musical tomfoolery cut with an occasional comedy sketch. It's organic, free-range, cheese with the occasional onion thrown in.

Funny resonance with this song. A friend who was a tech for radio stations somehow got a phone number in Japan that he used for testing when setting up for the station to put phone calls over the air. He said it must be a toll free international number because he would hear a recording that keep repeating while he was testing and there would be no charge. Since my partner was Japanese he asked me to listen and find out what they were saying. It was a recording saying in Japanese that they cannot find the number called, please check the number and try again.

I think this one just got on because I was looking at obscure projects to highlight and this one somehow got left in after several drafts. Obscure band. Pleasant soud

I don't know if this a combination of a live take and an outtake from his rock album or what.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:47pm
MHLee:

But only knowing a single verse seems consistent with that era
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:47pm

I'm pretty sure the band quoted tip-toe there which is impressive to fit into this

In general they are much more capable on this album. There aren't many false starts and some of the instruments sound correct

Don't think I heard this album. Seems I would enjoy it more than the classical one they did (which I have and sorta enjoy).

There's a band called Red Eye which does a surf/blues thing of this... and there's a really weird garage version... think Kenny and the Casuals but might be wrong on that
