...if you want it. The tune is a bit more succinct:
"Columbo"

Still hate it?
Like this one better?

Let me know.

i like this one a lot better than the first. but i still don't really like it.

sounds more like "indie rock dave matthews band" than "indie rock grateful dead".

check out the anomoanon for some good "indie rock grateful dead".

For the record, the band IS a grower.
Took me many listens (I had to play them as a college DJ) before it hit me. But when it did... it hit hard (obviously).

I like Honeyslides more than Columbo. But neither would move me to buy a Shrimpboat album. Sorry Todd.

Tomorrow there will be YSIs from earlier S.B. stuff (a little more country sound) as well as live Brinsley Schwarz (early Nick Lowe), Roy Wood, and Tom Ze. Somebody's gotta like something.

And, in the future I'll put up tunes from Falstaff (the non Sea&Cake half of S.B., post breakup) and other shit I've been blathering about round these parts forever.

I actually liked them both quite a lot. Based on some of the comments I initially read like "indie grateful dead/dave matthews" I didn't think I would. Also, and I don't know who else has ever experienced this, but the band name also put me off to the point where I really didn't think I could possibly like the music. The name "Shrimp Boat" fucking terrible. But, once I listened to the two songs, I really enjoyed them so there you have it. I would like to hear more.

I'm liking this, too. Not big on The Sea and Cake, though, from what I remember.

I like this track. For someone just getting into Shrimp Boat, is "Something Grand" or "Cavale" the way to go? And what is the deal with the former? It doesn't look like a greatest hits package, but where did they get four discs of other material? Thanks.

It is not a greatest hits.
The band recorded incessantly (sp?) and also recorded all their live shows.
There are a lot of songs that never made it to the albums (like the 2 I posted) and then there are a lot of great things that they did live. Judging by the live cuts (and all first-hand accounts I've heard), they were one of the best live bands around.

And I never saw them. :(

But they did some interesting covers that find their way onto the box:
instrumental version of Gershwin's "I Loves You Porgy"
"Those Were the Days" (All In the Family theme)
a couple of Carter Family songs
and the sax-skronk "Truck" contains snippets of "If I Were a Rich Man"
