Who here hasn't sat in the bathtub and thought "hey.it would be pretty sweet if i were a unicorn".and then you twirl up your shampooed hair into horn.and then the wife/husband/mom/dad walks in and gives you a thank-god-that's-where-all-the-shampoo-is-going look and then leaves with a sigh of relief.never happened to you?. neither.īut you know.there are various variations on the shampoohorn.there's the shampoo fauxhawk.the shampoo abraham lincoln's beard.the shampoo merkin.īut i'm not here to discuss what it is you do in private with your shampoo
It also brings to mind some soundgarden and some therapy?ĭL: safe sex,designer drugs & the death of rock 'n' roll I'd originally bought this on cassette when it came out (though i don't rightly remember why).and ever since then.the first 22 seconds of the song "saliva" have been stuck in my head Listening to this will bring back memories of cruising the ol' fm dial back in the dayĪnd it may even shake lose a long lost memory of the time you and your friends were taking one of your random road trips.and (insert friend's name here) was in charge of controlling the radio.and one day.for whatever reason.he let 10 seconds of (insert shitty 90's band song title here) get played.and you then proceeded to pull the car over and made him get in the back.maaaaaaan was he steamed.ĭon't let the comparing of this band and music found on the radio scare you off Can't beat that.įor the most part.listening to the radio was pretty ok back in the 90s This demo comes courtesy of Ben Davis, currently of Noot d'Noot fame, but also of the untouchable math rock trio Purkinje Shft (among other projects), I swiped it off his blog, which appears to be defunct now, and it comes complete with two bonus tracks at the end.

Porn Orchard took a heavy dose of Black Flag, and gave it a run through the hot humidity of a southern summer. Porn Orchard were in the same demographic as Jack-o-Nuts and Barbeque Killers, the less well known, but possibly more revered cadre of underground rock bands that blasted away in sharp contrast to the shiny happy people across town.

While most of Athens, Georgia musical lore focuses around the jangly rock of REM (nothing wrong with that, mind you), or the art party of B-52s, or fast forwards to the psych-pop Elephant Six family of bands, there was, and there continues to be, a darker underbelly of bands that primarily play house parties, basement clubs, or backyards in the seedier parts of town. Well then.that explains why they're on this comp as wellġ8 - cher U.K. Waitaminute.aren't season to risk from kansas city?

Tyranny is tyranny carries on in the direction of the united sons of toil.but heavies it up a bit
This is where russell (vocals/guitar) and jason (drums.though he plays guitar here) went after the united sons of toil split up a few months back You remember the united sons of toil,yeah?Īnd you probably remember me mentioning these guys here before,yeah?
