BLUE MERLE


Our resident unnamed, unaccredited and unreal PhD takes a deep look into the psyche of up and coming artists Blue Merle in the first installment of Word ASSassination.  We give the band a word and they throw the first thing that comes to mind back at us and we evaluate it....sort of.
 

 


WORD GIVEN

WORD RETURNED ANALYSIS

POLITICS

ELECTIONS
Hmmmm....they don't go right to 'Hanging Chads' or 'Bush vs. Kerry' or the more popular 'I hate Bush.'  Must not be from America., right?

MP3

DOWNLOAD
Are Blue Merle possibly condoning downloading?  If they are, I'm sure it's only on legit sites, right?  This shows that the band is 'with the times' when it comes to technology.

POPE

JOHN PAUL
Not anymore guys, turn on CNN.  Benny's the man now.  This show's that the band may not be influenced by popular culture and therefore may be original afterall.

ASHLEE SIMPSON

DON'T KNOW HER
You don't have to know her to understand her pain.

BENNIFER

DON'T KNOW IT
"it" doesn't exist anymore.  But Bennifer II: The Wreckoning is in theatres (by 'theatres' we mean crappy tabloid magazines) now.

BUSH

SUITE
I.....what?

MICHAEL JACKSON

DON'T KNOW IT
Failure to comment on Michael Jackson and get involved in something that's not their business?  This shows obvious compassion and a keen understanding of ethics.

NBA

SHAQUILLE O'NEAL
Well, at least they named a player that doesn't fight all the time.  This shows signs that Blue Merle is a peace loving band.

MTV

RANDEE OF THE REDWOODS
Wow, a throw back to almost 20 years ago.  This ages the band to forerunners of the X Generation.

SOPHOMORE SLUMP

OUCH!
Apparently, the boys were hurt right after we put this word out.  All we got was a scream of 'Ouch!' and dead silence...
FINAL ANALYSIS

They've got some power behind them (U2 & Dave Matthews producer Stephen Harris).  They've got originality (not only do they have a violin as a regular instrument, but also a mandolin and upright bass).  They've played from Farm Aid to Bonnaroo.  So, now what for Blue Merle?  Now, they are ready to explode.  Not in the Backstreet Boys, Ashlee Simpson kind of way but in the heated singer-songwriter Dave Matthews and Coldplay kind of way.  Blue Merle are on tour now across this great country so look out for them.
