After a show in Key West, FL in 2005, Dr. Dog guitarist Doug O'Donnell wandered into a run-down dive bar called Chart Room and ordered a drink. There were only a handful of regulars in the bar, but one of them came over and sat down next to Doug after hearing that he was a touring musician. For the next two hours, this scraggly, bearded man unrolled his own incredible history while Doug unrolled the $5 bills of his touring per diem to keep them both in rum and cokes. The man was “Sloppy” Joe Flappens. In the early to mid-70's, as he told it, Sloppy Joe was one of the kings of the southern Florida beach bar scene. His band, “The Cruise," would pack houses all over the area, years before Jimmy Buffet's “Margaritaville” took the tropical soft rock sound to the top of the charts. Buffett and Flappens worked the same circuit, and, while not exactly friends (there was, according to Joe, “a woman to blame” for this), they occasionally performed together. Sloppy Joe and the Cruise recorded one legendary album in 1975 before disbanding. A tragic accident left Joe unable to play guitar and the completed album was shelved - literally (above Joe's couch, next to his record collection). He spent the ensuing years as a fishing guide, maintaining a laid back lifestyle in obscurity until his death in 2018. At that point Doug (who had become Joe's biggest fan and occasional penpal) received the master tapes in the mail (per Joe's will) and began trying to expose the world to this lost classic.

Sloppy Joe and the Cruise - Keep on Cruisin' LP!

*SNEAK PREORDER - Better photos coming soon! CHECK IT OUT on the usual streaming sources! I REALLY love this record. And the response to the soft-rollout of it has been incredible. If the first pressing sells out, we will probably do another run asap. This record needs to get out there and be...

Love the backstory, trop-rock theme, and all around design of the physical product but am struggling to get past the Mr. Sloppy Joe's vocals. Can someone please spin me a reason as why I'm just not "getting it" on a first listen? I need this (I think).

To me, I am picking up the Garcia/Wilson vibe is in the vocals. It is a bit jarring initially but the more I listened the more it grew on me.

Travis used to be an instant pre order for me. But it's hard to want to spend that much on this. I couldn't get into their last couple.
 
Brigid Dawson - Ballet of Apes is up on Castleface.

"the first 222 or so to order it will get it close to right away...past that point it'll be a pre-order as the rest of the copies are on a boat, so those will ship out in early July. Unfortunately that's our new normal for the time being...and with that in mind I'm keeping people to two per customer for this, the Cotton Candy Edition vinyl."

Brigid Dawson & The Mothers Network - Ballet of Apes

Tip-top of our osmosis list is the first quiver of tunes from Brigid Dawson and her newly minted Mothers Network: wise warnings dyed in dark hues, knotted and hard-won torch songs from the edge of a turbulent sea, bittersweet balladry spun in defense against evils familiar and unknown. Lovely...

I know this album has nothing to do with Police but the name and artwork feels a little uncomfortable right now. Reminds me of the New Pornographers naming an album Whiteout Conditions.

Nah, only if you want to try to force that interpretation; same for The New Pornographers for that matter (and that one is very much a reach on your part). A 'blue heart' has traditionally meant sadness. It's not fair to the artist to have you determine that anything labeled blue=police, or try to link the two.

If you'd read the copy (emphasis mine) -

"In the winter of 2019, Bob Mould bucked the era’s despair with his most melodic, upbeat album in ages, Sunshine Rock.

Cut to spring of 2020, and he has this to say: “We’re really in deep shit now.""

you're right, and after watching the video for the new song, I take it back. Anything black and blue and I immediately connect to police. Those five stripes on the bottom of the artwork could easily be a part of the flag. But I take it back.
