Re: Mike Doughty
I think Irresistible Bliss is the best of the Soul Coughing discs, followed by El Oso. But they are all different and it's pretty taste dependent. IB is more mellow, El Oso is a little more ambitious and uptempo, I found Ruby Vroom a bit unfocused. Although "Janine" and "True Dreams of Wichita" are two of my favorite Soul Coughing songs (both on RV).
M. Doughty came to Simon's Rock college for a live, acoustic show while I was a student there (he is an alum). Got to spend some time showing him around and hanging out. He's very talented but unfortunately was really strung out at the time. Haven't been following him; hopefully he's cleaned up a bit.
