If nothing else, check out the songs "Fully Retractable", "St. Louise is Listening", "So Far I Have Not Found the Science" and "Monster Man" off of El Oso. I love the hell out of those songs.

Soft Serve is on a mixtape from an old guyfriend I recently rediscovered. I like the track a lot and I intend to acquire an album. Funny coincidence that this thread be bumped today.

Thanks good tunes, ecspecially "St. Louise is listening."

Unfortuantly it looks like I will never see a Soul Coughing reunion. Apparently Mike Doughty doesn't just dislike his former bandmates...he actually hates the music they made?!? Too bad.

Heh. He's just upset that he makes such boring music without those guys. Honestly, in many ways I think he was the least important component to their sound.

Holy hell, I forgot these dudes existed. Not that this pertains or furthers the conversation going on here, but I'm currently playing "Super Bon Bon" and "Soft Serve" and reminiscing about all that teen angst. Thanks for this.
