The result is a beautifully rich album of pop songs that has a lush, sensual feel and a very simple approach. As such, Connelly explores the realm of songwriting and the effect of melody and lyricism with the Bells, showing a rare talent for the craft. The Bells is fronted by Chris Connelly, the former Revco/Ministry man, but The Ultimate Seaside Companion is the antithesis of this earlier work, conjuring up influences from Tindersticks, Scott Walker, and Mark Eitzel. C'est bon! (Friday, March 20, Flamingo Cantina, 11:30pm) And at least to these ears, the sound of French lends itself quite well to the lilting music. The best tracks are "Roots Ragga" and "Too Much Blood," but really, there isn't a blatant loser in the whole batch. There's nothing too heavy here, but they sure have an uncanny ability to hit the right groove throughout the album. There are a couple of tunes here that lay down an edgy, electro-dancehall groove, but this set is primarily a delightful example of a distinctly international roots reggae sound. This comes as somewhat of a surprise as K.S.'s breezy sound conjures up images of palm trees swaying to tropical tradewinds rather than hazy vestiges of urban concrete jungles. As it turns out, they're based in Paris like so many other "world music" bands with roots in the various former French colonies. Hearing this collection of full-up grooves with French lyrics for the first time, one might just assume that Kreyol Syndikat is from somewhere in the French Caribbean, perhaps Guadeloupe or Martinique. They don't make 'em like this anymore, and you'd have to pay top dollar at a specialty shop to prove they ever did. "Marley2" sets a tribute to the late great reggae messiah to a lo-fi version of "Mercy Mercy Me" elsewhere, the half-remembered sounds of a Funkadelic slow jam, a Grant Green guitar solo, or a Chi-Lites lick burble in and out of earshot.

But Life in One Day's greatest virtue is its Nineties update of classic Seventies slow grooves. He's worked up a similarly laconic persona to go with it, doling out the same lazy drawl whether he's talking about being in a 12-step program for "asswatchers" or worrying about his girlfriend's coke habit. As Lazy K, Lofton sets a real slow groove, marked by Clarence Greenwood's subtle scratching, some jazzy lead guitar lines, and the judicious deployment of violin and viola. Now he's got some company, in the form of Basehead guitarist Keith Lofton's splinter group. Ivey's spent those years doing the lonely work of making bohemian hip-hop: music that's race-conscious, happy to talk about the pleasures of beer and weed, college-educated, and not ashamed to say so. They’re in the final four contestants in the running to win Season 6.Basehead were so far ahead of the curve that seven years after their debut we still can barely see where Michael Ivey was coming from.
Meanwhile, Banana Split and Queen of Hearts made it through to the Group B Finals.
Guesses included Dan Levy and Owen Wilson, but none of the judges got it right. The panelists were shocked that he has such a great voice. He turned out to be Bobby Berk from Queer Eye. The second contestant to be eliminated was Caterpillar, so we ended up learning his true identity without the Take It Off Buzzer. However, none of the judges’ first impression guesses were correct.
