And now for something completely different.
For those who don't mind their rock with a smile, there is
The Consortium of Genius.
Led by Dr. Milo T. Pinkerton III,
an evil genius bent on world domination (aren't they all?),
this New Orleans band sings about science, world domination,
medical experiments, murder, and shower heads.
Pretty much what you'd expect from evil geniuses (or is that genii?).
More
Green Jelly
than
Frank Zappa,
nevertheless the Consortium does manage to deliver some
catchy tunes along with the laughs on their third album,
In COG We Trust.
Check out
Destroy Old Things
(I can't believe that title isn't already a punk anthem)
and the Devo-esque
Placebo!
Ably assisted by Dr. A, Dr. Z, Drumbot, and Lab Girl,
I expect Dr. Pinkerton will be at his quest for quite a while,
which is good news for us because it means more COG albums
(and let's face it, when you rule the earth you don't have time
to put out albums).
