Things began this morning just as they do most weekdays. I got up way too late, showered, quickly got dressed, and kissed my still sleeping wife before grabbing a Diet Coke, a multivitamin, two Omega-3 fish oil capsules, and heading out the door into the cold cruel world. (Really, it was pretty cold this morning). Anyhow, I flipped on NPR since I forgot (as I often do) to grab my Zune off one of the living room side tables and heard some interesting talk about steroids in baseball and Roger Clemens, the U.S. military’s involvement in Iraq, and even a short conversation with former Arkansas governor and presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee. It was all good and well, but just sorta blah. On a cold January morning where gray skies just seem to flatten the already plain landscape, I just needed a little something more to wake me up. This would have done the trick.
Seriously though, Exile Waltz from The Zydepunks is a raucous blast of gypsy punk gumbo straight from New Orleans. The band creates a melange of Cajun-inspired zydeco-folk filled with fiddles, accordions, and more. Almost like Beirut at Dragonforce like speeds.
