Who is this?

They're in the Banned in D.C. book. Never heard their music.

Yeah they aren't that great but the song "famous last words" is ridiculous. When you first hear it, it is stupid. Then it gets kind of great. Then it gets absurdly stupid again.
I hate it and hate it and hate it but I like listening to it. It, um, drives me insane.

A different variation on the theme: Martha Stewart's Halloween CD is guaranteed to invoke some sort of dysfunctional reaction. Yikes.

And 'Leslie and the Ly's' is autofacepunch twisted as well. Etc.

others...

Van der Graaf Generator - Pawn Hearts (truly bizarro ultraprog that I recently started liking quite a lot, for reasons that are still very unclear to me...but I like this a damn lot, even if it's self-indulgent)

Bob Dylan - Blonde on Blonde (an aural speed trip, pure and simple, and a rarified distillation of pure, true genius)

Rocket From The Tombs - Isolated tracks off of The Day The Earth Met... (specifically the David Thomas tracks - if anyone has mp3's of the radio broadcast tapes, which I don't think made The Day The Earth Met..., tell me)

Scratch Acid - Greatest Gift (pretty easy choice, but...well, it's insane)

God Bullies - Mamawombwomb (a convincingly insane, terrifying album...and catchy in the traditional sense, too, which makes it so perverse)

and Fun House and the original mix of Raw Power.

more to come...

The Fallen Angels It's A Long Way Down

once when i was on acid i listened to the track "dominoes" by syd barrett and i trashed my room, balling and screaming. i played it over and over again.

great song.

Put it on stand there shirtless in front of a wall just punching it for a bit smash beercans in you face for a little while go outside pick a fight with the traffic because you're the hardest cunt you know you're fucking invincible if someone says the wrong thing it's gonna cost them their fuckin legs because you simply. don't. care. about. anything. any. more.

Then play My War in the aftermath - it's pretty much made for those types of situations. When the adrenaline and the violent rage gives out, and all you're left with is self-hatred, helpless rage, and enervated depression.

Today Is The Day Willpower

Earth Extra-Capsular Extraction

Hairway To Steven


Some personal favorites.

Also: "Boris" as performed by Melvins.

Hmm...never really heard ANY of these except for isolated songs off Hairway To Steven...however, "Jimi" is what is known as fucking tripballs benzene-sniff freakout in excelsis. Total. Mindfuck. Paul Leary's guitar hero status is cemented with that track alone; even if the Butthole Surfers are, on the whole, mostly a bunch of pricks, Leary still pretty much owns. What a guitar player.

I don't know if I mentioned Locust Abortion Technician, so if I didn't, here it is. Sometimes I wish it was longer...c'mon, it couldn't have been that hard to perform another two or three degraded sludgefests and put 'em on the album...then again, the Surfers were never exactly "motivated" in the traditional sense...
