“Best songs no one seems to have heard” #2: DC Comics and Chocolate Milkshake by Art Brut.
Art Brut has gained a bit of a following since their last album, It’s a Bit Complicated, and it certainly had some good tracks, but my favorite so far comes from their newest album, Art Brut vs. Satan. Maybe it’s because I used to read comics books and I’ve always had a penchant for milkshakes (mainly strawberry, though) but this song just speaks to me. And with lines like “Life is especially hard / When no one trusts you with a credit card / I love the taste of cereal / I have it for almost every meal.” Tasty stuff.
