Title: Butthole dementia continues
Product review: The Surfers' second album, which gets my vote for best album title ever, is a little less scary, but still wildly weird as their debut "Psychic...Powerless...Another Man's Sac". As an added bonus, when recently released on CD by Latino Bugger Veil, the songs from the Surfers' EP "Cream Corn From The Socket Of Davis" (released around the same time as the original record, in 1986) are included at the end.Song highlights: the pounding acid-drenched cover of "American Woman", the bizaare Daffy Duck-like whooping vocals in "Waiting For Jimmy To Kick", the watery sludgyness of "Strangers Die Everyday", "Mark Says Alright" which only vocals are a distorted freaky growling, and the hilarious "Moving To Florida", where Gibby gleefully sings away about potty-training the Chairman Mao and sausages dancing on the hood of Ray Bolger's car. Priceless stuff.A close call, but it edges out "Sac" for my favorite Surfers album. Buy it!
