Not Goofy's Concern

In an amazing revelation to me, Paul Leary recorded Goofy's Concern, and, according to a post on the BHS forum here, played all the parts by himself. Paul said, "I think I did that at Westlake studio in Beverly Hills while waiting for Chris Shaw to mix a Meat Puppets album." Different lyrics. Totally rockin' version.

O-Men

This actually might be my favorite song on Locust Abortion Technician. I wish I could understand one single thing said in the speeded up amped up vocals, but maybe also that's what makes it so interesting.

Human Cannonball

Next up (not going in order) from Locust Abortion Technician, this video uses the song Human Cannonball as a soundtrack of photos of real human cannonballs from the circus. Perfect.

Locust Abortion Technician - Live

In a move emulating the recent Springsteen tour where he played whole albums, but with listenable music, the Butthole Surfers will be playing their most best album Locust Abortion Technician in Austin, TX on October 29, 2010 at the Scoot Inn. The Scoot Inn, in the photo, looks like it will be in the back of a hoarder's house. I can't wait.

Tiny Masters of Today

Can you spot Gibby in this video? Don't blink.

Garry Shandling

I purchased the Garry Shandling show DVD set hoping that the segment with the Butthole Surfers would be included, but alas, it wasn't. Here is a clip from their show.




And, here is Gibby singing Revolution Part II with the School of Rock kids. This is the song that chants Garry Shandling's name in a mantra like way. This is a pretty tame version of the song.

Dadaist Shame

The song, Shame of Life, is on that last album Weird Revolution that at first I really really hated. Then it started to grow on me. Then my husband kept singing the riff "I like the girls and the money and the shame of life" and it wouldn't leave my brain.

One DJ, Stefan Gagne (twoflower) calls the song "a good bitter dadaist Surfers track, kinda epic. At this point I have to agree.

It was also the soundtrack to an awesome graffiti vignette.

Shame of Life

Great video from with the song that annoyingly gets stuck in your head very quickly.
Thank you Alex for pointing this out.
