When I created the Late Night Listening<\/i> category, it was intended to be – for lack of a better metaphor – my own personal 120 Minutes<\/a><\/i> file: a home for things that might be fleeting, might be soothing, might be weird, might be soothing and<\/i> weird. The blogging equivalent of sitting in the garage twiddling radio knobs just to see what might be out there.<\/p>\n

The latest entry into this file is Sloppy Gospel<\/i>, from High Lonesome Ark<\/a>, a band which popped into existence last week and is the latest project of Martin Bemberg (Memphis Pencils), along with Dick Darden (drums), Sean Johnson (rockin’ rhythm) and Cody Troglin (dreamy lead, pizza)<\/p>\n

Or as they further expanded on it: Nasty Marty Bemberg is bass and baritone, Cody Pizzaboy Trogdog the reverie on strings, while SeanJohn Hard Like A Johnson just rocks all six real hard, and Slick Dick Darden straight up brings it on the pounders.<\/p>\n

At present they have turned six songs loose upon the world. I am going to share two:<\/p>\n

First, the title track, Sloppy Gospel<\/i>, because it was not at all what I was expecting, but I wasn’t mad about that, and, also, it persuaded me to jump the rest of the way down the rabbit hole and see what was at the bottom.
