I came in last both days. God bless all the little Jesuses.
And I think these are the last two CDs I gugg up:
The Cramps album isn’t that great – check out Fiends of Dope Island instead if you’re interested in their later stuff. I didn’t really like it when it came out, and it hasn’t grown on me. It’s… OK.
The Butthole Surfers (nee Surfing Assholes – thanks Donna!) album is much better. Maybe a bit too normal and ‘hard rock’ for them, but great all the same.
What the fuck, I’ll review the others, too.
Nip Drivers – offensive as hell, but in a silly and fun way, like Cheech and Chong or Elvis Hitler.
Action Swingers – Great Ramones/Stooges type stuff. Frankly, I think of them as also-rans. Really good, but lost in the mix of similar bands.
New Bomb Turks – Great band, middling EP. Stick with Information Highway Revisited.
Eddie Angel – one of the guys from Los Straightjackets. But it kicks LS’ ass. If Los Straightjackets are the Ventures then this is Link Wray. I mean, I love the Ventures, but come on – LINK WRAY.
Archers of Loaf – if you like them, then you’ll like this. Generally regarded as their best. But god, they sucked live.
