Song of the Day - April 6, 2005

Here's another song that is a genre bender, "Nagging Nimbus," by Busdriver. It is classified as hip-hop on Rhapsody, but I wouldn't really call it that at all. Busdriver sounds like the rapid fire bebop vocal lines of Jon Hendricks crossed with Frank Zappa. In fact his vocals and sense of humor could easily be confused for Frank Zappa. Since I like very much both Jon Hendricks and Zappa, Busdriver was a natural for me. The song "Nagging Nimbus" borrows from Dave Brubeck's most famous piece "Take Five," but puts an original spin on it. Click here to listen.
