Re: Doo Rag
the Bob Log record is more fun than seeing him live. Its on that cool Fat Possum label (RL Burnside, T Model Ford, etc) - thru Epitaph nowadays I believe...xojns -- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: "passenger side" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Doo Rag Date: Wed, Apr 21, 1999, 5:25 PM more recently, they've morphed into "Bob Log III", where bob does a one man show-playing slide guitar and kick drum with some drum loops here and there. still sounds like doo rag. the motorcycle helment with the built in telephone receiver/microphone has go to be seen to be believed.

Doo Rag
Does anyone on the list know anything about about a cd called "Chuncked and Muddled" by Doo Rag, on Bloat Records? The somewhat self-consciously retro packaging has a 1994 copyright. Someone I work with just handed it to me, and said "You're always listening to that yee haw stuff, you might like this." She was right. It sounds a little like Beck playing the blues. Very lo fi production. It's curiously hypnotic. I can't stop listening to it.
Re: Doo Rag
Yes, I have this CD and it comes in a cardboard box essentially. I believe they are/were from Phoenix. I bought it used primarily based upon a cursory listen. Over time, it hasn't held up very well for me. However, this gives me impetus to revisit and perhaps reform my impressions. I remember it definitely falling on the lo-fi end of things. The packaging is indeed, interesting and it irritated me since it takes up so much shelfspace. g JC On 21 Apr 1999, Robin Hall wrote: Does anyone on the list know anything about about a cd called "Chuncked and Muddled" by Doo Rag, on Bloat Records?

RE: Doo Rag
very lo-fi indie washboard drums indie rock/blues what have you, a la
Chickasaw Mud Puppies, but a little edgier un-trad sounding. "What We Do"
('96) has even rougher production, sounding like it was recorded to produce
a real tinny AM radio sound. Just like Real Audio!

I believe that they've broken up. I saw them live a few times. They were definitely lo-fi live as well. I think they were fairly innovative and doing some interesting stuff. I think they did done some work with Jon Spencer. I think the Beck comparison is fair, but I think they both released their first material around the same time. They have another cd released in '96 titled What We Do. I listened to that one a lot back in the day. (Why does '96 seem so long ago??) marie
Re: Doo Rag
they actually also utilize a vacuum cleaner in their arsenal. I hear a bit
of brotherhood with G. Love as well as Beck and the Mud Puppies...I dig
this record-in-a-box too - it came with a cool patch!
