I will break the bass drum right over my head

Sam Keenan is one of those Twin Cities musicians who pops up everywhere. He's one of the creators of Misplaced Music, a site that streams local music; he's a producer at The Current; and he makes a lot of music. I mean a lot of music.

He also just put out a record called All The Dark Colored Markers Went Dry, and it's pretty ridiculous, in a good way. Half the record is straightforward rock music, and the other half is... like this.

Sam Keenan - Chalk Circle.

As a musician, I'm constantly astounded at arrangements people come up with. How did Keenan come up with this treatment for what's essentially a melody from a Busby Berkeley movie? It's great.

All The Dark Colored Markers comes out soon from Draw Fire Records; keep an eye out for it.
