The Rebel Black Dot Song of the Day: SKApril
Slow Gherkin, "Shed Some Skin" from Shed Some Skin (T.L.A.M.)

Commentary: For many of SKApril's R.B.D.S.O.T.D. I've chosen lesser-known, arguably more idiosyncratic songs from various bands' repertoires. Not so with Slow Gherkin. Maybe "Trapped Like Rats in Myers Flats" or "How Now Lowbrow" are better-known than "Shed Some Skin," but neither song—indeed, no song—is more quintessentially Slow Gherkin. There is a frenzied pace & driving energy to "Shed Some Skin" that makes me lament having never seen Slow Gherkin live on stage. Alas! Their best album title? Run Screaming. I'm going to get all weepy & mopey as SKApril draws to a close, aren't I? I pray not, that would be wicked annoying. Let's skank!
