Dent May

The internet and I are new friends, we've been on a couple dates, he tried to feel me up once, but I don't want to get too physical because I'm not sure I trust him yet. So, you know, we are still getting to know each other and I discover some unexpected facet of his personality every day. With this in mind, I confess that even though I've listened to a bunch of Daytrotter tracks I haven't actually spent much (read: any) time on their blog until today.
1. Their manifesto is pretty good, but I felt like they were shaming me for blogging (am I being over sensitive and paranoid or could the 'daytrotters' stand to lighten up a bit?)
2. The reason I even went there was to hear Dent May's session from April 6. The article accompanying it was a little weird. it was all about the dilemma of the smart, sensitive, funny, but, alas, vaguely nerdy guy who can't get any hot girls because they are wasting their time with hot jocks who are going to leave them. OK, first of all, fuck that. and second of all, fuck that again. I don't think the 'cool nerd' has any trouble. They are a vaguely non-threatening but hip and good looking type that always get the girl on tv and in movies (Seth Cohen much?) and as far as I can tell in real life.
3. This may come as a surprise, but the point of all this rambling is that Dent May and his Magnificent Ukelele is awesome. His songs are cheesy in the vein of Jens Lekman or Adam Green-which i really like. You know, the throwback crooner style, I'm kind of a sucker for it. My favorite song of his is When You Were Mine, which, it turns out, is a PRINCE cover!

thx 2 kv 4 the tip
