Before I get distracted by Jeopardy: Teen Tournament (one of the few jeopardy episodes that I can actually answer questions in....Forty-Two....WHAT IS THE ANSWER TO LIFE@!!!!! )

Who Will Cut Our Hair When We're Gone? by The Unicorns

  1. "I Don't Wanna Die" – 2:03
  2. "Tuff Ghost" – 2:57
  3. "Ghost Mountain" – 3:10
  4. "Sea Ghost" – 3:42
  5. "Jellybones" – 2:43
  6. "The Clap" – 1:26
  7. "Child Star" – 5:21
  8. "Let's Get Known" – 1:57
  9. "I Was Born (A Unicorn)" – 2:45
  10. "Tuff Luff" – 4:19
  11. "Inoculate the Innocuous" – 5:18
  12. "Les Os" – 3:32
  13. "Ready to Die" – 1:42

If I had male genitalia, I would immediately penetrate every member of this band. They are one of the best, most nostalgic, and lively bands I've ever had the pleasure to enjoy. The song "I was born a unicorn" fills me with enough energy that I generally cannot contain myself when I hear it; while tracks like "Les Os" and "Ghost Mountain" could whisper me into a drippy, sentimental lull. They feature instruments including but not limited to: synthesizers, keyboards, drum machines, toy piano, toy organ, echoplex, bass, guitar,  melodian, recorder, glockenspiel, accordion, trumpet, bowed bass, fiddles, violins, cellos and penny whistles. Each song on this album is entirely unique and worthwhile. I've found myself falling in love with every sentence, beat and random noise; not to mention the brief rap section in "Tuff Luff"
The lead singer, Nick Diamonds, is also in a band called "The Islands", they are good but not as good as the unicorns. That is all.


If you want catchy, indie lo-fi, listen to the unicorns!!!!

WWCOHWWG is a perfectly blended album. I've got some Clues and Human Highway for you to try out, they're both spinoffs similar to islands. its nearly impossible to live up to the auditory ecstasy that is the Unicorns, but it's definitely not bad.

Also, I could've sworn you had male genitalia...

Yeah I suppose the unicorns were better than Islands. Pretty much. Islands are good though. Seems like ol' Diamonds is due for another release.

@JGBallard - 

dude, the islands have a couple extremely fantastic songs, for example don't call me whitney, bobby...but there's quite a few on 'return to sea' that I just felt were 'nahhh'

Yeah wow whitney, bobby was one of my favorite songs that year. I forgot about that. But you're right. The album was weaker than it couldashoulda been.

teen tourney is filled with excitement. actually being able to shout answers without a doubt is so rewarding. regular jeopardy makes me feel ignorant as fuck, which I may be, but that doesn't mean i like being reminded of it
