Morningwood released one wonderful semi-classic perid piece of tremenedous, danceable, alterna-
pop in the ealy 2000's, pretty much sank without much fanfare.......I thought it was REALLY good, they were little-girl voiced Chantel Claret, bassist Pedro Yanowitz, as well as touring/semi members guitarists Will Tendy and Jeremy Asbrock, and drummer Jonathon Schmidt......a pure New York City creation, that first self -titled album is one you need to seek out (like, HERE!), it's a forgotten (to a point) fine collecton of silly alt-pop, such as "Take Off Your Clothes", "Jet Setter""NU Rock", as well as the fabulous "New York Girls" and the single of the year, whatever year that was (2000?), "Nth Degree" (I once heard Chantel's charming  little voice in background of a car commercial with a snippet of the song, which happened to her spelling out "M-o-r-n-i-n-g-w-o-o-d".....figured auto industry exec finally figured out what "Morningwood"actually meant, because I never saw the commercial again......anyway, I hope they made a ton of cash off that commercial, doubt they made THAT much off the musical career thing......

Because, the followup, "Diamonds and Studs" came out a year or two later.....and then the "Stuff" was gone GOODBYE like a shot off the bat of Jose Bautista.........it's not HORRIBLE, but listen and compare and you'll see what I mean.....some decent tracks worth hearing once or twice ("Bipolar Bear", "Snobby Little Elf", "Hot Tonight" and "Bitches" are all fine, but the magic, for me, was gone)........check it out, see you agree or not.....myself I rate album 1 3.5 stars, the follw up 2 stars......disagree? I used to have a fine XM Live broaadcast of one of thier shows and searched everywhere for i today. I may have loaned it out or something, anyone with a copy of it (ca. 2001 on XM Radio) please share a copy, it's quite good!
