The song by Lovell's Flooded Cellar is simply and aptly titled, "April in Maine". The month that can't seem to make up it's mind. One day it's 70 and the next day it's 50.
It appears we've survived another winter. Now it's time to endure that soft, sinking transition from cold weather to warm weather with this funny song from Lovell's Flooded Cellar band.
It's called "Pounded." No, it's not a song about being in a bar fight or swinging hammers. We already told you that it's about the drudgery of Maine winter.
It's the Maine holiday fable of when Santa's sleigh unexpectedly breaks down and the Blimp comes to the rescue as a fill-in on Christmas Eve. "Each and every one of us can make a difference...even f-ed up stoner DJs."
It stars a scooter riding gang of lovable Augusta hooligans cruising down Sand Hill, up Water Street and of course (our favorite road to run as teens) along Western Avenue, among other familiar spots.
We Mainers all have our own cherished memories of the yearly traditions of going to the fair. That's why it's likely that many of us are bummed that it's not going to happen in 2020. One of our favorite local bands feels the same way.
For those of you still on the clock who may be driving a big rig while the rest of us load up the SUV and jam the highways to our warmer weather retreats, this funny Maine song is for you. To our truckers, thanks for all you do.
