So I've put Dent May on a couple of playlists now and I feel like I might owe you all an explanation. I'm kind of loving this guy. His debut album was recently released on Paw Tracks, and it's essentially lounge music with a ukulele, sung with a Jens Lekman-like croon and a whole bunch of tongue-in-cheek lyrics. Some of the humor doesn't quite break out of the ironic hipster realm, but most of the music sure does, with arrangements that are both comical and legitimately entertaining. That's about it. You should check him out (especially if you're in the Salt Lake area tomorrow night - he's playing at Kilby Court).

Heard you guys on Break Thru Radio... I might be doing this soon, too, so I checked out the site to get a sample for what's up -- and as it turns out, featured is a blog I know and like. That was neat. And in doing so, I was exposed to Dent May & His Magnificent Ukulele. Awesomeness. Thank you guys.
