Bizarro Jerry's Kutout Bin Klassics, Vol. 3

I first saw this album in a cutout bin when I was in junior high and thought it was the funniest looking rap tape ever. Years later, I tracked down a copy on amazon (for 50 cents) and confirmed this.

This is like the album Pharcyde always wanted to make, but never did because they did too much planning. Loose rhymes, murky beats, and a 'we're high as fuck in the studio' kind of feel dominate this record.

A while back, I spoke with H2O, one of the leading rappers, and he basically told me that initially they were pushed to be a stereotypical gangsta rap group by managers/labels, but after finishing their album found that they didn't like it at all. So, they redid the record, writing new rhymes and beats while still in the studio, and came up with this.

This has some of the downright funniest on-the-fly rhymes I've ever heard ('I'm hefty, hefty, hefty, you're whimpy, whimpy, whimpy/ you ain't got no TV, so you miss Ren and Stimpy'), the most bizarre misogynistic ranting ever ('Check this, last night I broke my fist/ from punchin' this bitch, I missed, twisted my wrist') and a token/tokin' (ha) weed rap that is so accurate it literally falls apart and descends into hilarity.

If this sounds up your alley, check it:

Playlist for 7-9-10, "The Women of Obscuro"




Another theme show idea I've been kicking around for a while...it always seemed to me that I play more 'dude' songs than lady songs on the program, but upon closer inspection, that's not really true. I didn't really have to work too hard to put this show together. That's not to say it's slapdash--in fact, it's one of my favorites so far.

The stipulation? Any band fronted by, or featuring female members.

Get that fuckin' podcast.

Bizarro Jerry's Kutout Bin Klassics, Vol. 2

Another great record that, while basically completely out of print, can be found in a fair amount of cutout bins is Brainiac's 1993 album 'Smack Bunny Baby.'

Once said to be Devo's successor (due to their sound and their location in Devo's hometown of Dayton, Ohio), Brainiac flipped people out with their bizarre mix of homemade synths, grunge guitars, and fucked-up vocals until lead singer/synth basher Timmy Taylor was killed in a car accident.

College radio folks may know Brainiac's 2nd and 3rd albums, 'Bonsai Superstar' and 'Hissing Prigs in Static Couture,' which feature a more developed sound, but their debut album often remains unnoticed and un-praised. As far as angry, crazy rock tunes go, this album is by far the best. To me, it sounds a wilder version of Nirvana's early recordings.

I dunno, but it definitely has its merits.

Brainiac - 'Smack Bunny Baby'

Tracklist:

1. I, Fuzzbot
2. Ride
3. Smack Bunny Baby
4. Martian Dance Invasion
5. Cultural Zero
6. Brat Girl
7. Hurting Me
8. I Could Own You
9. Anesthetize
10. Draag
11. Get Away

Playlist for 7-2-10, "This is My Private Life Pt. II"


If you know my program, then you know that I've always got some weird gimmick going on each week. A while back, I did a few 'theme' shows, which focused on a particular sub-category that I play frequently. There was 'Incredibly Strange Metal,' 'Electronic Pioneers,' and 'This is My Private Life'--a collection of private-pressing (aka vanity pressing) LP's from the 60's-80's.

Here's the spiel: Basically, prior to indie labels and independent rock, bands/musicians had to fund their albums by themselves. This also gets rid of any filter there would be (i.e. a label rep or a producer) and leaves the group open to pretty much whatever they want to do as long as they can pay for studio time and the actual pressing of the records.

Now, I present 'This is My Private Life Pt. II,' even MORE of these odd albums and artists.

I'll continue my Kutout Bin Klassics in a few days, so check back f'dat shit.

Also, vote for me at Songfight.org. I've never entered a songwriting contest like this before, and I thought it sounded fun. Basically, these guys give you a title for your song and you have to write it and post it within a week, then people vote on it. This week's title is 'Hard Landing,' and I wrote about what else but fat ladies falling down. My alias is MC Sharks in the Swimming Pool.
