Breaking with Tradition


I just realized that this will post in February.

The Endless Tuesday of Months.

Here's some sunshine to brighten it up a bit.



Life in a Cardboard Box (1980)

The Intestines. Raw, primitive and poorly recorded. This is the good shit.

(This is actually from a limited reissue put out in 2000. I'd complain about it, but I got it for like a buck. So...totally worth it.)




Whack the Dolphin (1981)

Then there's this. This is real. This is an original copy as housed in a custom vinyl sleeve (which I've read is because of a cardboard shortage or something in LA).

Extreme Electronic New Wave Nonsense.

Side One is not actually condoning animal abuse. It seems to be about something else entirely. Perhaps you can figure it out and explain it to me. It's kind of confusing...

While there's not so much about them as a group, there does seem to be a couple of interesting artifacts that lend credence to their existence as a performing outfit.

First off is a blog post that has an ancient 1982 radio performance.


As well as this:



If being introduced by David Lynch on New Wave Theater doesn't secure your curiosity, then I suppose nothing will..
