Thursday Random Eight (03/05/2009)

P - Zing Splash: The Gibby Haynes / Johnny Depp / Flea musical experience; on a fairly diverse album, this track has a lot of similarities to the Butthole Surfers tunes.

Poster Children - Three Bullets: The closing track from the Tool of the Man release, a slow dismal ending to a high-energy album when the band was really starting to excel.

The Beatles - Sexy Sadie: The White Album was my feeble attempt to try and get into The Beatles a few months ago. The songs are enjoyable enough to keep on the iPod, but don't really do much for me otherwise.

The Dead Milkmen - Howard Beware: And really, what chance do The Beatles have when The Dead Milkmen are just a click-wheel away. You'd think I'd outgrow the memories of being a high school dork listening to Beelzebubba with my 4 pound walkman strapped around my waist as I was mowing the lawn, but you'd be wrong.

Barn Burning - 2004.06.20: I'm pretty bad at remembering song titles these days and I can't place the title, but this track, available for free sharing, is from a live recording from archive.org. Recorded around the Weatherbound / Choir Practice EP era, this is a pretty nice collection from the band and gives a good overview of music. Or, you could be very adventurous and download their cover of Run to the Hills at their website.

The Locust - Sperm Donor: At 35 seconds, The Locust puts out one of their longer songs of screaming and noise.

T.S.O.L. - Silent Scream: A recent addition to the iPod, this track is from the creepy Dance With Me release from the early 80's. It's a pretty wacky punk/goth mix.

Tom Waits - Clang Boom Steam: As I said back in October, never has a song title been more descriptive of its contents.
