5 out of 5 stars Amazing!.......2004-10-30

I command thee to purchase this CD. Do so now without hesitation or thou shall be struck down.

5 out of 5 stars what a find!.......2004-06-05

i just bought this and boy-o boy-o it's wonderful! i've heard a bit of jad and daniel before, but the new kid on this is every bit as strange and sad as the two old guys he plays with. bultman's song "she starts fires" is as good as half japanese at their heyday, easily the best cut on the cd. the opening track is quite special as well, as is their cover of "michelle" and the medly titled "melody": mix katrina and the waves with "on top of old smokey" (all covered in blood, no less)? why not?

5 out of 5 stars an avant garde masterpiece!.......2001-11-16

Daniel Johnston and Jad Fair, along with unknown newcomer Chris Bultman, have made the noisest (mostly) accoustic album in recent memory. This is a very, very good thing. Not exactly picking up where the savant genious of their "It's Spooky" left off, "Somewhat Humorous" explores a realm of music left untouched by even the most extreme fringe of independent artists. From their straightforward-but-not-straightforward retooling of "Ruby Tuesday" to the beautiful background clatter of "Pancakes Flop" and the cute-punk sneer of "She Starts Fire", there's a reward to be found at every turn. Reportedly written and recorded during a stay in Daniel's parents garage in the middle of the country, the music found on this CD sounds as if chaos, heartbreak, and winsomeness are added to the local water supply. Buy this before it goes down in the indie-rock history books.
