Oh boy, after grand intentions of blogging music and random stuff regularly, I finally get back to a second post after what?... two months.

Anyways, without further ado, here's a space-flavoured calypso number from the inimitable Lord Christo. What can I say about the great inimitably unimitatable Lord Christo? Well, he is oft-imitated. But with futility, because he is, in fact, inimitable.

Lord Christo- Trip To Mars

I've read that the Caribbean calypso style he plays here is called Mento. Seems to me, in this case, it should be "de-mento" though. (cue laughs) The other tracks on his record Authentic Calypso ruminate on themes as variegated as food from Chicago, Shakespearean quotations, frozen chicken and hurricanes in the Carribean.

I find Trip To Mars simultaneously hilarious and intensely musically engaging. The shaker, guitar and voice just have a rare languidness that feels kinda out-of-time and yet they go together perfectly
