Soul Coughing: The Idiot Kings

The great thing about Soul Coughing is that you can play almost any song of theirs at any time and it’ll fit whatever the hell you’re doing. Parents, feats of strength, hip hop kids, church, whatever. I'm haughtily disappointed that YouTube doesn't have a video for this one except a solo performance by the singer, who clearly hates having to sing Soul Coughing songs when he'd rather be singing his own shit about Jesus.

Soul Coughing: Rolling

My roommate is the only person I know who doesn’t like M. Doughty’s voice. I’m sure there are other haters out there, but I don’t know any of them. You want to hate on the Christ-aggrandizing lyrics of his solo work, FINE BY ME, but when he’s gotta “slip into the field like Han Solo?” Nonsense.
