The Best Thing

27 maj 2007, 19:40

The best thing about "Busting Up a Starbucks" is, of course, it's about busting up a Starbucks, and I know you've wanted to bust up a Starbucks. Every time I go in that place and say, "I'd like a double twelve ounce latte, please," and they respond, "okay, that's a double tall latte," I feel like throwing a chair.

On second thought, maybe I better not throw the chair.

On third thought, the best thing about "Busting Up a Starbucks" is listening to Mike Doughty mispronounce Tukwila (and other assorted localities). I can't tell if he's mispronouncing them on purpose, or if he's doing it out of ignorance, or if he's doing it because he knows something that I don't... and that's tricky... how does he get away with that? It's all kind of wonderful, you know? Because if Maroon 5 or Ryan Adams or Beyoncé came in and did that, you would be pretty certain why.

Wonderfully outrageous and tricky songwriting... as usual.
