In related news, Born Ruffians recently visited Daytrotter and recorded the songs ” Retard Canard,” “Higher and Higher,” “Oh Man,” and “The Ballad Of Bruce Moose.” Daytrotter says, “Born Ruffians music is never gamey. It never tastes like, or sounds like something that’s been spoiled already, something that’s been sitting under the hot lamps, waiting to be chosen out of the buffet line. These aren’t songs about the standard things. LaLonde chooses to write about the pretty specifics and stays specific with them, rather than taking on the vagaries of others, attempting to shed any kind of new light on them.

There is a domestic flair to some of his songs and he takes them into a personal domain that still gets to feeling as if the subject matter was something of an epidemic and easily transferred to nearly everyone listening. It’s as if we’re hearing a very atypical diary entry being sung to us, one that’s not at all self-indulgent and is actually more poignant, interesting and descriptive than most would be. It feels as if the words can change on us, as if that would be an alright thing. It’s just twice as many insights and that’s perfectly okay.”
