"But that’s just, like, your opinion, man!"

I read William Bowers’ very admirable, heartfelt article on why one of his favorite bands is not hugely popular. Then I downloaded the record. The answer to poor Mr. Bowers’ question, I think, is that Phosphorescent are just not very good. But you can decide for yourself.

Phosphorescent – “Joe Tex, These Taming Blues”: mp3
Phophorescent – “I Am A Full Grown Man (I Will Lay In The Grass All Day)”: mp3
