Back to more strange music. I love how Butthole Surfers always toed the line between pop accessibility and all out drug fueled freakout jams. They first came to my attention through the video for "Hurdy Gurdy Man" on MTV's 120 Minutes program. It didn't take long for me to purchase "Pioughd," and then stumble across the incredible "Locust Abortion Technician." I then saw them live in 1991 at the first Lollapalooza, which was amazingly unique and something I will both never forget and have only vague recollection of the details of. I do recall Gibby shooting frisbees over the crowd with a shotgun at one point. Not much later, I first hear Orbital's first album, and jumped for joy hearing the Butthole Surfers sampled for the intro to "Satan." What a wonderful combination there. Fast forward 30 years, and my younger daughter was finally ready to get her ears pierced. We took her to a local tattoo parlor because why risk it at one of those stores in the mall where an unskilled teenager has a piercing gun in a chair by the window. This tattoo parlor was covered in Butthole Surfer tour posters, and I mean covered. I counted at least a dozen of them around the room. I know this was the place, and the ear piercing went perfectly well.
Now, on to the mix, which if you're going to punish yourself with some Butthole Surfers, might as well do it for two hours straight. Enjoy!
