There's only one other really good song on that record.

Last time I played it a couple years back, I was contacted by the dude that designed the sleeve for that record. He told me the story about how the main guy in the band was sick of the record at one point and hoisted several of them out his window to shatter them in the street. There was more to the story, but I don't wanna make everyone too sad.

I think I know most of the rest of the story, and it is indeed quite sad. But I do like most of the other songs on that record (i.e. the covers of "dancing in the street" and "she loves you.")

In addition Jon Velcro & Rad Solar's duo album under their real names (i.e. Gregory Jones/Roy Sablosky's No Imagination) may be the most underated experimental record to come out the U.S. during the 1980's. The reissue on Creel Pone may be out of print.

Haha...Well, if you call in drunk on Busch, certainly I might consider honoring a band requesting themselves.

woah, nice one on playing the corey o's track! check out headfall, 2/3rds of the corey o's are 2/3rds that band. it's pretty different stuff though.

The girl with the high and tiny voice in Corey O is strangely charming to my ears.

that's a dude. seriously. he is as small as the voice suggests. here he is hanging with his two normal sized band mates.
