The BK "What the ...?!?" Award of the Day goes out to Oysterhead, the new musical project of Les Claypool (Primus), Trey Anastasio (Phish) and Stuart Copeland (The Police). OK, I don't know Phish from Shinola, but I do know enough to recognize that the dude Trey can get his guitar wizardry on. And I haven't really been crazy about Primus in a while, but everybody knows that Les is a badass bassman. And then, of course, The Police — you gotta be down with the kings.
I guess Oysterhead sounds a lot like Primus, mainly due to Les' signature chaw-spittin' vocal style, but you can certainly hear the echoes of Phish's jam-band steez as well as Stuart's syncopated mastery. Will I be seeing them in Berkeley later this month? Probably not.

Hey, B-Monster. Heard the "The Argument" last weekend, and it had major-league Who steez, in the best way possible. If "Red Medicine" was the psychedelic front, this is the garage rock statement. It'll be in heavy rotation by all us F-headz, fo' sure.
