The Ruby Suns
Your very own jerk detector
There are two types of people in the world: jerks and non-jerks.
The ways to detect a jerk from a non-jerk are few and not always effective. But, thanks to New Zealand-based Californian Ryan McPhun (what an ace last name), we have, quite possibly, been given the best possible method for non-jerks to detect if they are in the presence of a jerk.
When in the presence of someone you believe is a jerk, put on McPhun’s incredible Tane Mahuta, the shining star from his The Ruby Suns project’s newest album, Sea Lion. Let the psychedelic jangling guitar form layers of intricate pop, let the swelling chorus of tribal voices fill the room, let the busy fuzzed out sunnytime melodies take over your subject’s senses.
Then, at the end, when your subject asks “What’s the name of that song?” answer, flatly, “Tane Mahuta.” If your subject responds, sincerely believing he’s being clever, “What? Hakuna Matata?” yes, you are in the presence of a jerk.
