“Half Steering, Half Eating Ice Cream”

Is actually a song lyric & title by the band Spymob.

Who are they?

Well, Spymob provided the backing studio instrumentals on several NERD albums (In Search of… and Seeing Sounds) and tours. The single Half Steering is also featured on the 2003 album“The Neptunes Present…Clones” . The band is from Minneapolis, Minnesota.

The song is one of my favorites and even though the band experienced limited commercial success- their tracks have a undefinable addictive quality. Up tempo jazz and guitar riffs, falsetto vocals, extended harmonies, check, check, and check.

And the NERD albums that they support are solid in their own regard.

Now you know, Half Steering, Half Eating Ice Cream- much more than just a song title- a life motto.
