I love how skanky it starts. If weeks-old filthy ball sweat had a sound, it would be the opening riff to this awesome song. The drums sound like the partly crippled gate of a grossly overweight late-night sneaky uncle. Awesome!
-
The rhythm section is total Beefheart, the guitar is like Hendrix mixed with the Voidoids. What a cool tune :)
-
saw Robyn in concert doing this tune, was scary,,, awesome talent
-
@escadrielle I just checked out an awesome live version of I wanna destroy you live from Baltimore in 2001..must of been the same tour. This band are some of the greatest musicians Ive ever heard..
-
Saw the genius Mr. Hitchcock last night covering the entire Beefhearts' 'Trout Mask Replica' album at the Bath Spiegeltent- FUCKING MINDBLOWING!!
(Had to play my unenlightened mates some of his Soft Boys stuff- this track came to mind :)) Rock on Soft Boys fans. X

Creed Bratton needs to cover this
-
@hairymarx good call my man! i saw them live in San Francisco around 2000 and your spot on with the Syd Barrett thing they played "astornimy dominie" !

Just had an epipheny....I had long heard the name of this band but never got around to checking out their stuff until now. This is absolutely awesome - an inventive and timeless masterpiece that has echoes of Television, Beefheart and Syd Barrett, but nevertheless has a distinctiveness all of its own. This album was arguably the first of the new wave of '80s pychedelia in the mould of Dream Syndicate and clearly influenced a succession of musicians from that era.

Sounds a wee bit Howard Devoto.
