So Long And Thanks For All the Shoes, 1997
Written by Fat Mike
This album's title comes, of course, from the Douglas Adams book, but the band notes on their website that "We tend to get hit with a lot of shoes when we play so we thought it was a good title." It's unclear if the shoe-throwing is a tribute or an attack, but either way is probably exaggerated. Over El Hefe's punchy horn stabs, Fat Mike nasally vocals insist that "I'm not insane, I'm not bummed out," despite feeling bored and burned out enough to move to Pakistan or Mongolia. It is the voice, and sexual frustration, of the teenager.
