Here’s a little preview of something Miss Mussel is working on for the LA paper.
North Korea: wrong on pretty well every possible level but they sure write catchy tunes. Part Trololo Man, part Lawrence Welk overlaid by a large helping of Kenneth Alford. Also, don’t tell anyone but I’m a sucker for slides and these guys are all over it.

Say, that is a catchy tune. I’m not sure I’d call it part Laurence Welk, though. That reverb-heavy male chorus reminds me more of Mitch Miller. Sing along with (Comrade) Mitch!
I was thinking more the shiny happy super polish of Lawrence and his gang….it seems entirely possible that these guys are wearing peach polyester suits.
I haven’t heard of Mitch before but am heading out now for an education courtesy of Youtube.
