Hi there. This is Dude Justin with the second installment of 'The Weekly Handjob.' In case you missed the first one, I'm writing a weekly blurb that includes a downloadable mp3 of my favorite song of that particular week. Cool, right? Well no, it's not that easy. What you need to do first is write me out a check for $5, then I send you the link. Just kidding, it's totally free. However....if you would like to send me money just because I'm a righteous dude, e-mail me and we'll talk.
This week, I am pleased as punch to present you with Close Your Mouth (It's Christmas) by The Free Design. Oh man, dig those fucking Price is Right theme song bass lines! And Sandy Dedrick's beautiful voice. Seriously, between the Herb Alpert trumpet funkyness and those groovy bass lines, you could take the vocals out and have a perfect early/mid 70's gameshow theme song. This song is that awesome! Anywhoo, The Free Design were mostly comprised of brothers and sisters who played sorta adult psych pop. They didn't really have much chart success in their day (which is a total shame) but recently, they've been getting ridiculous (read: well-deserved) praise by some of the most amazing musicians of the modern-day type (Stereolab, Caribou, Super Furry Animals, Madlib et al). So there you have it. Download that and enjoy the shit out of it.
