The Dick and the Lounge
"I like popular music. I'm a culture whore who grasps at the invisible fabric that wraps itself around our society, tethering us together with a seemingly intangible connector of similitudes and familiarity."
If this phrase describes you -- and you know that it does, culture whore -- then you need to broaden your tastes a little. Do it before I beat you.
In today's installment of Jack Tells You to Listen to Some Good Shit: Richard Cheese
For the uninformed and ignorant, Richard Cheese is the swingin', singin', lounge king of pop music.
The not-so-subtle lounge-singer alias of writer/actor/comedian/singer Mark Jonathan Davis previously scored a Dr. Demento request favorite with "The Star Wars Cantina." The Los Angeles-based Davis also worked as a jingle singer, and made appearances on NewsRadio, Batman: The Animated Series, and The Late Show with David Letterman. For the Richard Cheese project, Davis assembled a big band and recorded lounge covers of '90s alternative rock hits. The resulting album, Lounge Against the Machine, was released in late 2000.
Whoa, was that totally ripped off of an online biography entry or what?
Richard Cheese currently has three albums out: Lounge Against the Machine, Tuxicity, and I'd Like a Virgin; personal favourites include his versions of "Yellow," "Butterfly," "Baby got Back," "One Step Closer," and "Loser."
I want to be him when I grow up. After I be a fireman, of course.
