Oy! We’ve got so much music lately! This coming Monday folk-soul troubadours Blitzen Trapper bring their huge group of manly bearded bandmembers (I almost wrote “manbembers” there for a sec) to the El Rey with sweet’n’folky Baltimorean duo Wye Oak. This should be a Dylanesque hoedown of hirsute jaw-dropping proportions, one into which you should not go unarmed without a razor. The arm hair on that one dude in the front of this picture ( –> ) was so epic I felt compelled to crop it out.
Hairy rockers unite! Wanna snuggle up? We’ve got your tickets, my little Furries. Comment below with a snippet of song lyrics (please include artist name & song title) that mention hair, beards, ponytails, big brown beavers (please do NOT go for the obvious, thank you, or you will be eliminated), anything…hair-related. We’ll pick a couple winners to go see the show. Info on the show is here if you’d like to buy tix & not waste your time with my inane babblings.

The Stallion Part 2
Hair-throng goo-tongue, stallion mang.
I am the stallion, mang.
1: I can drink
2: I get groomed
3: I go for a walk
I am the stallion, mang.
…..
I shall too lick the palm of the stallion,
Whilst I drink the hair from the stallion. Man.
I am the stallion.
Pavement – Cut Your Hair
“But I dont care, I care, I really dont care
Did you see the drummers hair?
Advertising looks and chops a must
No big hair!!”
What about Swedish songs? Do those count?
Sommarmustasch, by Elov and Beny
“Sommar, sommar, sommar, sommar, sommarmustasch
det blir en megahit å ha en sommarmustasch!
sommar, sommar, sommar, sommar, sommarmustasch
alla brudarna blir galna av vår sommarmustasch!”
which translates to:
“Summer, summer, summer, summer, summer mustache
It is a megahit of the summer! Have a mustache!
Summer, summer, summer, summer, summer mustache
all the chicks are crazy for our summer mustache!”

Almost cut my hair
It happened just the other day
It’s gettin kinda long
I coulda said it wasn’t in my way
But I didn’t and I wonder why
I feel like letting my freak flag fly
Cause I feel like I owe it to someone
Crosby Stills Nash & Young – ALmost Cut My Hair
Well every time I pull you close,
Push my face into your hair,
Cream rinse and tobacco smoke,
That sickly scent is always, always there..
