Furious Fade: Mai Tai Hotel

Finally, a vacation album for beach-side hotels with views that over-

look industrial waste sites, for beautiful sunsets for bleary-eyed

travellers, for being holed up in a room with a sunburn while every-

one else is body surfing. Yes, songs that any self-respecting hotel bar

band would never touch. Here it is Furious Fade's Mai Tai Hotel,

the album that gives us "You Don't Make a Mai Tai with Gin,"

"Nachos in Nova Scotia Have White Cheese," What's a Clam Bake

in Texas," "Why I Love Ann-Margaret," "Elvis Impersonators Get

Laid Too," "My Sister the History Major Hates John Wayne Movies,"

"The Truck Driver Next Door," and there's more. But these tunes

should be enough to make anybody's headache worse.
