Back From The Dead
Sorry for our two day long disappearance. It looks like our domain expired or something, but Jay says that everything is back and working. In celebration of our re-emergence we offer you an mp3.
David-Ivar Herman Dune - Lovers Are Waterproof
I found this today and realized that it makes a perfect popsheep re-birth-day gift, being a side-project of one of our most frequently posted about artists who was also the subject of my first ever post. When I first started listening to this song, I was kind of disconcerted to hear the trademark Herman-Dune charmingly-accented-English replaced with a much less affected sounding, almost southwestern drawl. But, then again, the Herman-Dune charm extends beyond their use of so many strangely/beautifully accented words (my favourites being "baby" and "bastards"). It's also their clever-but-not-cloying lyrics. It's the tiny-claps used as percussion in this song that sound almost like fat raindrops falling on the softly-rendered chords. Besides, the closer I listened, the more I realized that it was the delivery that had changed, not the accent - not that it really matters, but I found it somehow reassuring, in the way that you want at least a few of the things that you care about to stay the same when everything else around you seems to be getting less and less comprehensible. Anyway, this is another free song from the frequently updated Myspace page of David-Ivar Herman Dune.
Update (via songs:illinois):
The new Herman Dune video is pretty much the best thing ever, objectively speaking.

"...(my favourites being "baby" and "bastards")..."
I gotta go with "Shack'uhm up shack'uhm up shack'uhm up shack'uhm" from 'Good Day' cover and the "...or maybe goto the Mov'ehs?" from 'I want a woman'
I would just like to thank you for being the best place around for Dune Goodness.
I have Herman Dune on my mind today. I pretty much decided they rule. Having already decided that they rule I don't know what to think after watching this video. They double rule?
