Dent May became inspired to write "2099″ after all the talk about the world ending on 12/21. Since you're reading this, it didn't, so it's good to know. Here's what Dent had to say about the song: "Everybody's talking about the end of the world. A lot of people are pessimistic about the future of mankind. My take is that this is just the beginning for us, and there's a lot of love left to spread throughout the universe. '2099′ goes out to my fellow dreamers who plan to stick around into the next millennium.

My Firsts is our new email interview series where we ask musicians to tell us about their first life experiences, be it early childhood ones (first word, first concert, etc.) or their first tastes of being a musician (first band, first tour, etc.). For this My Firsts we talk to Mississippi native Dent May. In June May released Do Things on Paw Tracks, the follow up to his 2009 debut, The Good Feeling Music of Dent May & His Magnificent Ukulele.

"This is the soundtrack to a strange party you will encounter this summer. It takes place on Pickwick Lake, which borders Mississippi, Tennessee, and Alabama. You may not have heard of this lake. You probably live somewhere quite far away, but this is 100% a true story. It just hasn't happened quite yet." —

The calculated, campy pop of Dent May 's latest release Do Things feels like a blissfully innocent summer punch, spiked with a strong dose of whiskey.
