I've never owned an album by these guys, but their track "Erotic Christmas" from the 2003 My Pal God Holiday Record is one of the high points of western music, IMHO. Is there anything worth getting?

Well, I just downloaded "Neighborhood Watch (We Call Police)" and it's great in the same way.

Mysterious Pony is a thing of greatness.

I quite like their (first?) album, Shatter the Illusion of Integrity, Yeah - which is also one of my favourite LP titles.

I kind of get that impression, and it strikes me as a great and unusual trait. Often, bands are at their worst and most precious when they're trying to be overtly silly. But I think they achieve a kind of tightly-crafted silliness, sort of like a precision slapstick routine.
