The perils of starting a skull collection.

One time, someone sent me a lifesize plastic human skull. It looked real. I put sunglasses on it and named him Woodrow Bones. Someone saw that I loved this skull very much, so when they went on a tropical vacation, they gave me a small statue of a skeleton riding a surfboard. I named him Aloha Skelinski. Someone saw my small collection, and gave me a monkey skull replica. I named him Bananas. Now people give me skull-related items all the time, so I have this mass of skulls in one of my rooms. My main concern is that I am becoming a skull dude, and I don’t think I listen to enough death metal to qualify.

INITIATE EPISODE NINE

CONTENTS:

Brian Auger & Julie Tippetts - Encore Brian Auger & Julie Tippetts “Freedom Highway” (1978)

The biography on the back of this album notes that many consider a musical survivor one that lasts in the industry longer than it takes the average person to pay off a waterbed. Remember when everyone had a waterbed, and if you didn’t have one you were hoping to one day get one? No? It’s probably for the better. It was a period where everyone was cold and naseous.
Jesse Winchester - Nothing But a Breeze Jesse Winchester “Twigs and Seeds” (1977)

In large cities, getting weed is easy. You ask somebody for the number of their weed guy, give him (it’s always a him, by the way) a call, and within an hour you’re high. In smaller towns and suburbs things get a little trickier. Get a pizza and ask your delivery person. There’s a 35% chance that they’ll know where you can score more than pepperoni. There’s an 8% chance that they’ll sell you some right there. [train of thought continued four songs from now]
Podipto - Podipto Podipto “Mississippi Woman” (1976)

…and the award for best album/worst band name goes to…Kings of Leon! Better luck next year, Podipto.
We Are Going To Eat You - Everywhen We Are Going To Eat You “Ride Upon the Tide” (1989)

When you talk to a cake, it only hears the name of this band no matter what you’re saying.
Gary Shane and the Detour “This World” (1987)

Inside this record was a flyer for other albums on the Arf! Arf! label, including a record I used to have and sorely miss – The Space Negroes Do Generic Ethnic Muzak Versions of All Your Favorite Punk/Psychedelic Songs From the Sixties. The name of the album really does say it all. Go get it.
Big Blunts “Under Mi Sleng Teng Remiz (Muggs Old School Remix)” (1993)

Of course, if you happen to live near a band member of Big Blunts, you should go straight to them.
Tru$t - Paris By Night Live Tru$t “Paris By Night (Live)” (1989)

I’m still mad at these guys, and won’t talk to them until they apologize for what they’ve done.
