the meatmen c/d?

!

(Alex, I only have part of the first episode on tape, sadly.)

and making fun of Morrissey 10 years past his shelf date (see "Morrissey Must Die!") is not only lame, it's also bizarre. the Warlock Pinchers beat 'em to that punch, anyway (back when Morrissey was still relevant!)

1 Down 3 to Go = their best moment.

Hard to believe I was so vociferous in my defense of War of the Superbikes, as it's truly a very silly record.

Tesco is a lot funnier on the printed page than on record.

So there's a Meatmen historical overview DVD out. I know this as a copy arrived in the mail today.

yeah, there's a good Mark Prindle review on his site.

I made it through the first ten minutes before going "ARRRGH" and making dinner. I can't imagine anyone sane sitting through all three hours without stopping.

hahaha a THREE HOUR Meatmen documentary? AWESOME.

And hey, Blight were great too, eh?

Noise band. Average for the time.

Man, Tesco dances better than Ian Curtis ever thought.

I knew nothing about this DVD until now but am totally buying it. Thanks Ned!

DWulf still awaiting your response, friends

Another damned by faint praise thread for adding to the pile.

Did you ever see Tesco's travelogue show, "Way USA?" Funniest shit on television, ever.

Stence was right about this, BTW -- the first episode, focusing on Baltimore, is tucked away deep in the DVD, and it's frickin' great.

Oh, I guess it isn't a proper review...he was just the bizarre inclusion interview.

It being the anniversary of the murder of John Lennon, I could not help but be reminded of the Meatmen track off that first LP, "One Down, Three to Go."

When was the last time you folks listened to that?

Maybe this is just me getting old, but hearing Yoko Ono referred to as "slopehead" and a "panfaced gook" really took the wind out of my sails. No, it's not okay in 2017, but it shouldn't have been okay in 1983.

I suppose the argument could be made that, like the License to Ill-era Beastie Boys and, for that matter, Andrew Dice Clay, the Meatmen were "in character" the whole time. I can’t speak to that. While I had my suspicions in that capacity about FEAR, I haven’t seen or heard anything about the Meatmen, over the years, to suggest that they are or were anything other than tasteless assholes. Regardless, you know what’s absolutely never alright? Ethnic slur. They’re not funny, they’re not ironic, they’re not cool and they’re sure as shit not Punk. They’re indefensible and they’re just fuckin’ racist.

Rant over. I apologize for espousing this stuff.

yeah i was totally put off by the Meatmen from the get-go

who are the equivalents of the meatmen on touch & go today? cocorosie?

Hahaha
