Bad Surfers, Down!

For reasons only able to be expressed in mime, I spent a significant part of today trying to work out the lyrics to The Butthole Surfers' Graveyard from Locust Abortion Technician. I didn't do very well; only got as far as "Here I am in the graveyard" but it gave me a beatific serenity that confused my immediate peers into thinking I'd contracted bird flu.

I also dimly remembered a Yeovil band called Backstreet Abortion Technicians (BAT) that passed around the entrails and alleyways back in the mid 80s. But that could have been a bad dream.

On the subject, an ex-member of much-discussed (well, here) diss - seminated Yeovil band King Mong contacted me by e-mail asking me to take down the demo track I put up a few posts back. Despite my claims to co-ownership (vigorously denied through the spectacular abuse of emoticons) Mr Mong insisted that any further tracks posted should be accompanied by a link to his Pay-Per-Play service.

Naturally, I've been desiring media whoredom for quite some time but this isn't quite what i meant so I replied that my head felt like a bucket of cumin and told him to sod off.

The emoticon that followed had to be breathed to be believed.

Here's The Buttholes doing what they do best.
