Short, very lo-fi DIY, crass musical terrorism in the "art" punk vein. Inane lyrics & tom-foolery are the focus. Like the Men's Recovery Project, most times the lyrics are just the song titles repeated till the cows come home on a wonderfully horrible drum loop/cheap synth/crap guitars. If these songs were over a minute, then most of them would be unbearable, but they are the perfect length here. I think they put it best. From their myspace: "being in tune isn't what we are about .... in the time it takes to tune a guitar we can write and record two new songs." Throw them on as a quick "breath mint" for the listener. Look, the songs are < 1 min, and funny. Try some out. Track times on the back. FCC clean! Personal favs are:
2 - early deerhoof keyboard sound. "doing the naked dance. La la la, la la"
3 - girl:P-3, that's my favorite level robot:"parking garage, parking garage"
6 - robot: "He is the autobahn". girl: "Strike like a cobra, purr of the enginge".
10 - male & fem vox:"crosseyed evil eye sweety pie" slightly more menacing rock beat.
13 - acoustic guitar opens. Distorto voice and dance beat "Freddy Mercury is punker than you punk"
14 - 4 seconds. "no yuppies none!"
19 - wow, the male vox. melody actually kind of complements the backing music here.
20 - "hey momma, poppa says gimme ten dollars for gas and tacos".
