I have no idea what this song is about or what any of the lyrics are. He could be saying "I take my wash to the laundromat and I'm gonna have a good time washing my comforters". If I were listening to this song while washing my comforters, I would probably have a good time, too.  (I don't mean to make light - the articles I've read have said that the album is inspired by the death of his friend Andy Palacio. This song could be about that - I can't understand the lyrics, so in cases like that I like to make up my own meaning.)

I couldn't find a downloadable MP3. Oh well. This is a nifty song.

My favorite song so far is "Ali, Please". I'm also partial to "The High Life".

He's offering his whole album as a free download, so please take advantage of his generosity and download it. I'm sure he'd appreciate it, too, if you shared the link on your Facebook, Twitter, body via tattoo - however you want to get the word out!

I love Wheat. They did a song called "I Met a Girl". It wasn't the most complicated song ever written, but it was a cool song. Even years later, I still remember it.

To rev up for their newest release, Wheat are offering for download their cover of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" and an original Christmas song.

Go Wheat!

Oh, she's so cute! I love this song. I've heard a few more of her songs, and I like them too. Great video for "Jailbird"!
