Who likes the Butthole Surfers? Man, they are a lot of fun. They're freaky, weird, yeah... I'm at work, listening to the 24 hour radio stream, and it's pretty far out. Gibby Hanes has got a freaky laugh. You guys should check out this radiostation at:
www.buttholesurfers.com

An oldie but a goodie. Thanks for the reminder. It's good to
know that people are still into them.
Sorry, I can't help you with your question.
 I still believe in the excellent joy of the Catholics |

When I saw them circa '87/'88, they had a naked dancer with aluminum foil over her teeth. She also kinda looked like she had Down's Syndrome (not that there's anything wrong with that...).

Kurt loved them so I guess I should have checked them out by now. Who would you compare them to?

I love Gibby's voice and they always gave really good interviews.

If you have the opportunity to see them, Gibby Haynes and His Problem are great too.
I can't even connect to their site right now, so I can't reproduce your Firefox issue.
I've listened to them for many years, but only recently discovered that they make sense to me. They're a real comfort. When we saw Gibby and His Problem at Abbey Pub in Chicago, some guy jumped up on stage, in front of a crowd of about 40, and gave Gibby a huge hug. To me, it seemed that everyone there wanted to do the same.
Have you seen the live dvd "The Blind Eye Sees All" yet? It's good.
Nice sig btw. |

Thank you Apl.
Love Gibby Haynes and His Problem, they haven't toured the UK in a while, but I'm keeping a good lookout. Not seen the dvd either (bugger, there goes my credit card again).
A good friend of mine who has always idolized Gibby met him a while ago and was crushingly dissappointed - said Gibby was a total ass and the experience pretty much ruined The Butthole Surfers for him. I am slightly suspicious though - the good friend in question is sometimes guilty of behaving like a petulant child and an ass himself, especially when he's drunk.

My favourite albums are Independant worm saloon (1993) and Electriclarryland (1996)
These two albums are the most coherent.
Elictriclarryland has a great mix of pop and punk.
Some of might have seen the video "Pepper" off this album on MTV.
I don't like all of their stuff, but they've recorded some great stuff.
The last album is a little disappointing though.
I'm bored with the valleys and bored by the peaks. So I bought a ticket to the Pixies |

There's also another band with Gibby (and Johnny Depp on bass) called "P"
I think the album is called "P" too.
Not all good, but there's four songs worth a listen: 'Michael Stipe', Dancing Queen (Abba cover), 'Die Anne' and The deal.

I just checked the record sleeve and it actually says: Johnny Depp... Guitar & Bass

I thought that the older Butthole Surfer albums (like Pioughed) were a bit uncomprehensible but still bearable. I loved Independent Worm Saloon (especially their "ballad" type songs like the Wooden Song and the one about Cowboys and Indians...can't recall the name right now) and also liked Electriclarryland. The newer album (the newest one I'm aware of, Weird Revolution) has some good tracks too, but it sounds overall alot more polished than their older stuff, which isn't always a good thing. They even do a song co-written by Kid Rock. (The Shame of Life).
Anyway, overall a teriffic band.

I have downloaded about 10 saongs as a sampler, Listened to Pepper, Detachable Penis, Who Was In My Room and the Summer In The City cover Penis so far. Good stuff. Wasn't as keen on Who Was In My Room though.

The wooden song
Goofy's concern
Cough Syrup
Jingle of a dog's collar

Thanks for the list Chicken.

King Missile is another great (somewhat surreal) band in a similar vein of BS. They made a whole song about the violent things that they were going to do to Martin Scorcese.

Right on BLT. I think they hit their creative zenith with Locust Abortion Technician. 22 Going on 23 has some of the most beautiful melodic guitar/bass counterpoint work ever recorded, replete with backing neurotic phone call, and sheep. You really can't get much better than that, folks.

Butthole Surfer musts
22 going on 23
Cherub
The Annoying Song
That's just a few, Cherub may be kind of hard to find...I don't know. I highly recommend the The Hole Truth...And Nothing Butt. It's a kick ass compilation of early live shit and a couple of demos. I feel lucky to have found this. It even came with a couple of stickers! Has anybody else heard this action?
Homers Pet Monkey,
I think it's cool that you're checking this stuff out. It seems like when I tell most people about cool stuff they totally blow me off. Do you guys know I'm talking about?
Here are some other cool bands, although they are a lot different then the Butthole Surfers.
Midnight Movies
Clinic
Portishead
The Requiem for a Dream Soundtrack
The Vapors...most people only know their single "turning japanese," but I got their first and only two albums, and they're pretty good. Something weird about the vapors: they never toured much because they didn't want to give the band an image.
