“The Bus Argument” by Mark Adams: People are gonna start talking about that “what about the bus song”. This is it.
Just the other night on her show on XPN2, DJ Kate Bracaglia (she also has a great music blog called Underwater Explosions) played a song called “The Bus Argument” by Mark Adams that immediately grabbed our attention.
Adams, a musician and winemaker, records under his own name and as One Time Spaceman and Rancho Deluxe. “The Bus Argument” is from his album Panjanatan, out on June 9th. It’s got some funky tropical electronic grooves, a swinging horn arrangement, some blips and beeps (it’s reminiscent of “Mr. Jones” by the Talking Heads) and a quirky yet entertaining lyric that he sing/speaks that keeps you totally engaged. “What about the bus?,” sings Adams. You’ll know what that means after you hear this infectious and fun song.

Groove of the Moment: Mark Adams, “The Bus Argument”
It debuted on my radio show last Monday — but I liked it so much I decided to blog about it too (O yeah.) I’m talking about “The Bus Argument,” the delightfully quirky new track from West Coast experimental artist (and apparently: wine maker) Mark Adams.
With a funky beat, spring-y electronic flourishes, brass blatts, and talk-y lyrics that rhyme Charles Bukowski with “The Big Lebowski” — this lil baby will have you grooving and smirking to yourself at the same time. Talking Heads fans take note!
