Favoriting Merrily We Roll Along with MHLee: Playlist from August 26, 2022 Favoriting

MHLee's avatar View MHLee's profile Favoriting

Merrily We Roll Along is a mish-mash of high energy lunacy, reverence, and irreverence for forgotten pop stars, love for Saturday morning cartoons, and exploration of the side of Bandcamp where I seem to be the only one purchasing. Bringing to you the odd and the upbeat from a growing collection of pre-rock novelties, classic and neo-Vaudeville, jug bands, polka, klezmer, and more at the convenient hour of 8-9 AM EST, Merrily We Roll Along starts the day off with a little light-hearted musical tomfoolery cut with an occasional comedy sketch. It's organic, free-range, cheese with the occasional onion thrown in.

Someone played a very odd version of Don't Boggart that joint... I actually think Jan on Monday did with a "Nun Discover Marijuana"

Dr. West's medicine show is believed by Darryl to have been the force behind a terrible uncredited record but I forget the context
