Art - Ugly people with fancy hairdos

[ytdwgant]

This was our favorite song back at University of Missouri Columbia in the 80's! I have looked for it for years and like below... I would love to post it on Facebook but... kids...

[dellovad]

KPFT's the Funhouse turned me on to this- used to drive my folks freakin bat-shit when they would hear it on-- and laughing that I don't want to post on my facebook 'cause my kids are on there, payback

[The1STATION]

Nice one REX, I love that line just as the stage gets invaded LOL, where are they now and do you have room for one more in the studio or on tour :-)

[TinoMacAndCheese]

You have 7 inches of lifestyle, and you think the boat people are desperate?!

[PHISHjohnsonPHISH]

this is so awesome

[The1STATION]

O M G I have this I bought it from Smal Wonder records when it was at the top of Walthamstow High Street Walthanstow London and I am keeping it safe LOL .. I love the other side so clever id you switch the speekers from left to right you have 2 different tracks InSanE but great...

[QUBIQJimmyC]

It's on cdbaby.com under Artless. iTunes, Amazon too.

[Morgaana]

[blackandblue10]

I used to hear this all the time on WCSB in Cleveland. a DJ named Keith Newman played it a lot on his show

[RoilNoise]

ahahahah i own this and it was cheap too

I WANT NUCLEAR WAR!

[threepoint14r8]

If you have the rest of the single, please post it. Mykel's an old friend of mine, haven't seen him in ages, and I'd love to hear the rest of the single, I used to have it, but it was so good somebody stole it.

[dmaxlp]

@threepoint14r8 Ahh ! I can only smile because I WANTED to steal it from my friend who had it but did not have the nerve : (

[dezeehond999]

Don't touch me I'm New WAVE!

[kimdvs56]

My band w/ Mykel...looking for it forever. love it. We were quite cutting

[ChrisHatepunk]

Mykels lyrics are as mean as usual....id cut off my balls for this record.....ok not both but one for sure.....

[hippytrash]

ive been lookin for the boat people song for 25 yrs or more. started to think i hallucinated ever hearing it.

[hippytrash]

holy crap 'ive been lookin for were all boat people for like 25 yrs?!

[kzajac001]

Thank you SO much for posting! This was one of my fav songs off of KTRU/Rice Univ in Houston, Texas, when I was in high school. I thought I'd never hear it again!

[dellovad]

@kzajac001 I just posted about the same thing, only was on KPFT, but now as I read this I can recall Rice Radio as well!

Smart is how you use your tools or weapons or image, right? Warhol, quintessential nerdster, immortalized.

[aboutds0uffle]

60s nerds>80s nerds

[aboutds0uffle]

At least, fashion-wise.

[NyappyChocoChan]

how come you keep making tons of different comments instead of one. ;/ xxx

[aboutds0uffle]

Different ideas, different lines. And sometimes I forget what I want to say so I come back or was doing something more urgent so had to go. I don't care if it's a tedious eyesore, it's the internet and you don't have to read it if it tires you. I doubt it's that ugly.

[aboutds0uffle]

Or call it trigger happy.

[aboutds0uffle]

And you can't fit it all, sometimes. And I can't shut my trap.

[NyappyChocoChan]

just wonderin haha

[NyappyChocoChan]

Are you a nerdster? D:

[aboutds0uffle]

I doubt it.

[aboutds0uffle]

But I rather be a Nerdster than a Baby Boomer.

[aboutds0uffle]

Or a professional peeper pirate. An obese one at that. Happy? Sure.

[aboutds0uffle]

Remember nerdsters are smart or good at making money or the bosses.

[aboutds0uffle]

Like Andy Warhol. The nerdster 'pimp,' you can call him.

[aboutds0uffle]

Image is everything man, you didn't know? The ugly and the beautiful, the pariah and the idolized, the strange and the standard, the cool and the uncool, the rich and the poor.

[aboutds0uffle]

Andy Warhol brilliantly knew how to use his subjects--the image that sells--and spit them out.

[NyappyChocoChan]

hippies...

[aboutds0uffle]

Nah.. more like Nerdsters.

[aboutds0uffle]

Actually, in case you didn't get it, it's an indictment of everyone. Every label.

[aboutds0uffle]

I guess you missed the whole picture. It's an indictment of everyone including the one indicting.

[NyappyChocoChan]

still just sounds like hippies to me..

and if it's everyone I guess I don't count >=D

I can get happy hahaha

[aboutds0uffle]

Hippies don't have fancy hairdos... they need showers. 'Free love,' party and all, sure. Who has never wanted to have fun at least once, and desires? So, more Nerdsters (nerd hipsters). Anyway, all in all, everyone has their own pretensions, snobbery, or dissatisfaction about something.

[aboutds0uffle]

80s Nerd look = Contemporary/Millennial Hipsters.

[aboutds0uffle]

Happy Nerds? Yuppy Nerds more like it. Nerdsters are whores, too. Maybe more secret. Wannabe member of the Cool & Beautiful--posers or not--every well-fed person's affliction, one time or another.

[aboutds0uffle]

Everything comes around. More relevant today.

[aboutds0uffle]

Hippies now = Poor Nerds.

[aboutds0uffle]

Not such a well hidden secret more Nerdsters are underground 'freaks.'

[foxvermont]

I played this all the time on my college radio show in the 80s. I thought it sounded better at 45 so that's how I played it! Don't touch me, I'm new wave. Endless groove at the end. Art--GREAT art. You GET it from an ART ROCK BAND! But wait, remember Art Gets Thrown off the Stage By Yippees?...I also remember they did a cassette, Live at Carnegie Hall (yeah,

Carnegie RECITAL Hall).
