I Will Truck by the Dirty Projectors is without a doubt (or hyperbole) the most extraordinary sounding song ever written in the entire universe. It is taken from the album The Getty Address, where main-man David Longstreth sings from the perspective of The Eagles' Don Henley as a Spanish conquistador going in search of the shape of love. It also has some shit about 9/11 in there, but, you know, these days what doesn't? And if that doesn't make you want to rush to your local record emporium or illegal internet downloading facility, then surely the sight of Longstreth on top of a truck warding off sword-wielding ninjas with his trusty nylon string guitar will go someway to enhancing your boring little lives. Some arsehole called James Sumner (no relation to Bernard), in wicked act of osterntation, has made clips for a good three quarters of The Getty Address (although unfortunately he's left out the album's second best track Tour Along The Potomac) giving it the air of gravity and pretension it so richly deserves. And I, in turn, have posted the clip for I Will Truck here on my blog, giving my taste in music and art the air of gravity and pretension that it so richly deserves. Emjoy:
