Album of the Day (Special Edition)

Wine and Pickles, by Mike Keneally (2008): A break from the regular A-Z pattern to pimp out the latest offering from musical genius, multi-media artiste, and overall good guy Mike Keneally. This is "the album I didn’t know I was making over the last ten years," a collection of alternate versions, songs cut from prior albums, and bits of stuff taken from here and there (including Mike's days composing for the late CourtTV). It's mostly unreleased and mostly very cool. I'm particularly enjoying the cut-from-Dog version of "Li'l," with its very Umphrey's McGeeish opening, the original version of "Backwards Deb" (from Dancing), and the extended version of a favorite from Dancing, "Skull Bubbles." A very nifty collection for Keneally fans of all ages!
