This is worth buying for the song 'The Jewels of the Madonna' alone. The line 'fifty dollars worth of half dollars' makes me feel funny all over every time I hear it...

Second record from Texan noise-makers. It's filled with short "tunes", or rather pieces, that are built mostly around guitar, bass and drums. But they perform their music as a cross between amateurish playfulness and artistic conceptuality. Not that they are bad musicians, but they have understood the charm of simplicity that the lo-fi bands of the nineties use to great effect. This record deserves better recognition as an important art-rock/alternative influence.

The album itself is ordinary. It can be scrathed or burned just as easily as any other vinyl out on the market. However the songs on the album......WOW. These guys invented the spastic rhythms normally associated with DEVO and the TALKING HEADS. The lyrics are so ambiguous and disconnected you'd wish you were trying to derive meaning from a SYD BARRETT album. It may take a few listens to start to appreciate the songs. It's a very subtle experience that most cannot fully grasp without the help of strong narcotics. However if you are patient enough to let MAYO THOMPSON lead you nowhere slowly, and only feed you a very few insightful lyrics along the way (which will still ultimately only confuse you)while changing your bio-rythms akin to that of an elderly, wandering psychotic.......I promise, you won't be sorry. Best tracks......"Save the House"....."Sheriff Jack"....."Dairymaid's Lament"......"Leejol"....."Sherlock Holmes"...."Green of My Pants"....."Night Song" ENJOY
