“Not The Not Song” by Kit And Kaboodle Because It Really Is Opposite Day

Posted on 2023-01-25 by Wacky Alex

Today is National Opposite Day and this might be the perfect song for the Occasion. We think this live version from 1997 is best but Kit And Kaboodle recorded it again for a studio album.

In English, negation works like multiplication. Two negatives equal a positive. Three equals a negative again. This song is about “nothing but not”. Count the negations. Are they really singing about nothing? What is NOT nothing? Is that automatically something?

Also it is important to remember that an argument is not just contradiction. Or is it?

“Man With A Tan” by Wally Pleasant

Wally Pleasant was a student at Michigan State University when he first started making up songs with his guitar. This is one of the originals and it’s perfect for the start of summer. It’s on the summer playlist here as well.

I got a chance to play his music on WDBM when I was a student DJ there. Then I saw him play live, solo, in front of the cafes in East Lansing. One day I ran into him at Office Max. He’s a funny dude.

Here’s an image of a Tan guy in Israel from Huck Magazine.
