One of my favorite Record Mojo * moments was when, at the WFMU Record Fair, I found a copy of the Carjack Fairy single for an absurdly cheap price. I sent it to Sleepkid, because he rules.* Record Mojo is how my pal Mark and I refer to our astounding fortune whilst looking for certain records. On occasion, all we have to do is just say to one another I'm looking for blahdeeblahblah and one of us will find it. I believe that because I often pay it forward, I am rewarded by the fulfillment of my own personal want list.

An emphatic not crap. You either love them or haven't heard them yet.

There is no way this C/NC hasn't been already done.Not crap, obviously. Heroin Man can rival any Cows record and definitely outshines the first two. I can do without "Example Maiden Japan/Devil's Food," though. I wish someone could distill that visceral thrill you get from hearing this queasy, psychedelic squall of shitrock and put it into a pill. I want to feel that way all of the time.edit:SecondEdition wrote:"Stag Party" is possibly one of the best opening tracks of all time.

So I don't quite agree.SecondEdition wrote:"Stag Party" is possibly one of the best opening tracks of all time.

There was a Cows v. Cherubs thunderdome, and a "Where is Heroin Man?" thread, but no C/NC for these masters of completely wrong heaviness and noise. (At least, I think there wasn't.)"Stag Party" is possibly one of the best opening tracks of all time. It is indisputably the best use of a dialtone ever in a song. "Baby Huey" does the same thing with a bizarro loop of a drum-machine beat, a whistle and a little kid grunting.For Heroin Man at least, an easy Not Crap. Their other albums are kind of hit and miss, but Heroin Man is a masterpiece of stomach-churning dread and sludgy, fucked-over riffage, right down to the gutpunch cover of an OD'ed corpse in a bathtub.I was always surprised that this band was not on AmRep, but reasoned that they were better than, charitably, half of those bands. (They were not better than the Cows.)What say you?

Venus Flytrap makes me want to go into a Pier 1 and smash everything in sight.

Not Crap Only heard Heroin Man though and I don't have a copy anymore.
