Or: "This copy of Internal Wrangler cost $15 and it's only a half-hour? Man, what a complete and utter rip-ofOH MY HOLY GOD "HIPPY DEATH SUITE" "DJ SHANGRI-LA" "T.K." DAMN THIS IS FANFUCKINGTASTIC"

How would you rate it with Walking With Thee?

― Yancey (ystrickler), Friday, 1 November 2002 18:20 (twenty-three years ago)

Well it's a different beast entirely. I still like both albums equally on their own separate merits.

COP OUT!

― Yancey (ystrickler), Friday, 1 November 2002 18:26 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh, okay, uh, sorry. I will say this instead: "I now hate Walking With Thee and think it's poo for not being Internal Wrangler II." It's a lie, but at least it's not a "cop out".

Anyhow, I thot this was gonna be a thread about albums that looked short and insubstantial on the surface but turned out to be much more than that.

I was just joshing you Nate. I wasn't being serious. I asked because we talked about Walking With Thee earlier.

I kind of figured (and funny you should use the term "joshing", heh). Anyhow.

THREAD DERAILS, MANY FEARED DEAD OR INJURED; AUTHORITIES BLAME PENNY ON TRACK

to derail i t further, has anyone seen the ornette coleman album that has the exact same cover art as internal wrangler??? they are exactly the same except it says "ornette coleman" and not "clinic."

― brains (cerybut), Friday, 1 November 2002 20:17 (twenty-three years ago)

Well, I do seem to remember Clinic saying that they had ripped off the cover art from an old jazz record...

I think it was on one of the myriad Cover Connections album.

Which reminds me - I was looking through early '70s back-issues of Rolling Stone at the library this afternoon and there was a full-page ad for the record that Pavement appropriated for Westing (?). The band's name was "Ambergris" and there's a photo of the band with a cartoon voice balloon from one of the band members reading "AMBERGRIS means whale puke". Gee whiz I'm wondering why they did not storm the globe with a string of #1 hit albums.

Yeah, I remember when we came across that at random at KUCI shortly after Watery came out -- we had a copy of the Ambergris album in the archives. We proceeded to put it back into heavy rotation for a bit. ;-)

to bring the thread back, how about "Pink Moon" and "It's a Shame about Ray", both full of pearlers and under 30 minutes apiece.
