Recipe from Betty Crocker

Oakland-based band Makeunder released their album ‘Great Headless Blank’ earlier this year.

The album is really out there. It’s got so much going on, so many musical styles, so many words to take in. It’s a refreshingly different collection of music.

Title track “Great Headless Blank” is my favorite of the bunch.

“While I am asleep
I’m waiting for the hole to mend me
And make it all better
Well, you can try”

Amen to those words.

Check out Makeunder on the band’s Website where you can learn of an upcoming show in San Francisco and buy their music.

Cheers!
