Oysterhead vs. Chris Isaak

"Oz is Ever Floating" by Oysterhead, from The Grand Pecking Order (2001)

This song, from the one-shot album by the Police/Primus/Phish Phusion, is like eating a box of roaches and washing them down with a swig of bong water. Although not a huge fan of the album from this experimental tripling, this track features all the fuzzy bass, guitar noodling and high hat you'd want. And it only costs me 2 minutes and 41 seconds of my life, bonus!

"Two Hearts" by Chris Isaak, from Baja Sessions (1996)
Image hosted by TinyPic.com A sweet, sappy, beach blanket bingo love song from a high-class Elvis impersonator. Sounds like sunshine. Will get you beat up if you play it at a tailgate party though. A previous, less jaunty more haunty version appeared on '93s San Francisco Days.

WINNER: As appealing as dusty roaches and dirty bong water sounds, Two Hearts sounds like the fucking beach man. How can you go wrong with that? Unless you're at a tailgate party. In that case, just make it easy on yourself and play some AC/DC.

What do you think?
