Title: Fans of Underground music should love!
Review: Catchy as hell, this album is an instant classic in the vein of underground music, like The Fugs, or The Vaselines. The band name-drops a lot of radical political figures (in "Hot Topic"), but the lyrics aren't simple platitudes or slogans. They're poetic, goofy, surreal. Musically, I hear the influences of the B-52s, Sleater-Kinney, and a lot more. I love Deceptacon, What's Yr Take on Cassavetes, Phanta, and Sideshow at University (this great instrumental that samples a hilariously conservative lecture on art). The CD provides plenty of mix-tape fodder!
