Possibly the most glitchy man in the universe (er, my universe), I love Monster Bobby! It started when I was in the midst of my Pipettes phase and I learned he was the songwriter for them. And then he had a solo album come out. Just a remarkable fellow made all the more remarkable by his ploy to get fans to name a song of his from his new sleep/bed concept album. I’ve uploaded the track here.
From Pitchfork:
That plight soon developed into a tour-wide quest for a title, but even show-goers failed to come up with anything that tickled Bobby’s fancy. Monster Bobby now turns to you, loyal patrons of the interweb, for the divine arrangement of letters, spaces, and punctuation that folks will forever connect with his composition.
Download the song at the link below, rack your brain for that title of titles, and submit your suggestions direct to Bobby via his MySpace. The person who comes up with the best name is promised “some kind of lovely glittering prize.”
The forthcoming Monster Bobby album, meanwhile, is titled Forty Winks and will feature 40 different one-minute jams about— how clever— sleeping and beds and the like. Which means you’d better come up with a damn good title, since you’ll be up against 39 others on roughly the same subject.
