MILO
Smell the Parade (self-released)
Reviewed by Holly Day

---

I don't usually go for these kinds of shenanigans, but golly, this is funny stuff. One-man-band (with the occasional guest violinist and back-up singer) Milo writes truly disgusting and hysterically clever songs about his roach capture-and-release program, venereal disease, finding new underwear in a woman's drawer and what it all means, and being pen pals with inmates. Musically, this is more than I could ever expect from what is obviously a low-budget production - the songs jump from country to avant jazz to Cajun salsa to noisy rock seamlessly, and it's all performed so well and recorded so nicely I just want to shake this guy's hand, dammit.
