I will say that the music does match the much darker tone …

For some reason, I feel like I shouldn’t like the band Cracker—¦ but I do anyway. I suppose it’s what the band calls “Cracker Soul” that moves me. It’s that intangible there is in music that is added by pure feeling. Cracker songs are simple; easy chord progressions repeated …

Little did I know that so long as 50 years ago, a guy known as Captain Beefheart was out there satirizing the music industry and composing ridiculously respectable tuneage that can only be described as eclectic.
