The sheer wackiness must have been astonishing, righteous, revolutionary and filled with enough permanent brain atrophy to run for prime minister. Any lingering devotees of the s still insisting that "well, um, that Frehley's Comet album was pretty crazy for too, uh, often as well" better pack up their belongings and go home.
Fuckin' illiterates. Learn to read. And yet, there was an even more momentous day in the marshmallow-sky twirling unicorn massacre we call the s. It's a band that has no idea how to play its instruments. In fact, they don't even know what instruments are, or if the guitarist has the ability to remain conscious long enough to play whatever it is a "note" might be. Shattered psalms, wobbling percussion courtesy of poet Frederick Barthelme, patently overused echo chambers, and the clumsiest staircase bassline in garage history smashes into a bunch of clopping machine men as Mayo Thompson croons out the only serious line in his entire career: "I have in my pocket a hurricane fighter plane.
And that's just one of the actual songs. The "free-form freakouts" are about as fervidly psychotic as anything in any genre.

Think amplified "Revolution 9" or the more scandalous Sun City Girls' field recordings. Kazoos, tribal race riots, steamrolled radios, irate circus barkers, distressed toddlers, and spy themes assail each other over crackling soda pop.
And then there's those oscillations and extravagant mouthfuls of static that are so heavy you may as well tattoo fake PCP lips onto your skull and shoot yourself in the legs because you thought the act of shooting a gun was the object chocolate worship goalosphere itself. And in the middle, Thompson hollers out "Woo-hoo! The Jewels of the Madonna. Green of My Pants.

Thank you. Thanks for good music.. If you care so much for this record Horrible hypocrisy. Post a Comment. The Red Crayola were one of the greatest psychedelic bands of the s and probably of all times. They played extremely wild experimental music that was decades ahead of its time.
