Well, You Tried the Grass...Now Try Some PCP

Dug these out the other day & listened to them for the first time in quite a while. These are the first things I ever owned from the Buttholes.

 



Although they cover much the tame surf, I mean, same turf, they are well worthy of a share. These are the waves the Surfers were riding at the time. Chronicles of an era, in studio version & live. The live set simply ramps up the craziness to the power of 10. Charlie might not surf but Gibby & Co. do. 

Surf's up, punk.

  2. after the smegma post was wondering if you were a bs fan...coincidentally i've been working on this, a 'redux' with a few era-consistent extras...if you have time to listen to it i'd be interested in your thoughts on the sequence i chose...also would be interested in your stance on the disappearance of 'negro observer' from 'psychic...' here it is anyway; https://we.tl/t-NV0uWzlXfN

    1. Glad you added Cream Corn (another of my faves) - “Moving to Florida” is top bongo & Humpty Dumpty LSD (great putting "Perry (intro)" w/ "Perry".)

      Don’t really have an opinion about “Negro Observer”. I know that Spotify & Itunes removed the song from their online Psychic. Then a Matador re-issue without the track & a bunch of people with no real information arguing if Matador sucks or BS got woke. All I know is most previous issues of the release has the song, that I have the song. I don’t really get anything racist about the tune so I don’t really know what it’s all about.

      I really enjoyed your version of Rembrandt. Most pleasurable.
