Unbelievable

It's not secret that the Lyte Funky Ones song Summer Girls is one of my favorite jamz of all time - totally awesome laid back beats AND amazing lyrics - like seriously FUN and clever lyrics that could bat against the best of them: Bejar, Malkmus, Hansen, The Frogs. Well, enough time has passed that LFO has truly cemented themselves as a one hit wonder (actually, they cracked the top ten twice but I have no idea what the other song sounds like so let's just assume that it was a 'pay to play' top ten hit and not a legitimately great song...) and in the true spirit of crappy birthday gifts, I got my hands on the follow up album, Life is Good. If Summer Girls was a boy band's best effort at name dropping and pun twisting non-sequiturs, the title track from Life is Good is a stroll down the dry realism of P.W. Evrum and sun. The message is simple, the beats are laid back and there's pretty much non-stop record scratching sounds throughout the entire song.
