Oh please, this is so obviously "Heroin! The Musical"

Most convincing blurb is probably Buddy Williams's, soooo generic. Brian Brain tribute has the best album cover. Probably most interested in hearing Electric Tie Rack - Shitheels might be cool but a double CD of them is more than anybody needs. "Habeas Corpses" sadly passed over.

My favourite blurb is probably Künstler, actually. But I am a sucker for cod-German. "Sich auf DJ Komputerdisco, Atelierfest amusieren" is so Dieter off Sprockets I can't resist.

Auf die Jungletypische „parkbanken.”

My ex the YLT taper had the Unsanitary Napkins t-shirt.

awesome, gotta go with Künstler - s/t

Mick Smiley's "got his own album to do", apparently. Horrible 70s album titles like I've Got My Own Album To Do

Think I'm going with Künstler, too.

Voted G.I. Joe Extreme. Seemed the most hilarious to me as a teenager, still seems hilarious to me for reasons I can't quite explain.

Ha I'd forgotten about these. Hope this thread reveals more injoke and artwork sources!

I would like to a) hear Künstler and b) tell everyone I used to be in the Unsanitary Napkins. However, the poll seems to be for the former, so...

I voted Saxual Healing btw just cos it could easily've actually existed. Tho so could the Buddy Williams, prob

Really wish "Throbbing Lobster" were a band; TG covers in a Maine Fisherman stylee.

You had great style (and style is worthwhile) (Branwell Bell), Monday, 24 March 2014 09:43 (ten years ago) link

Throbbing Lobster was real life label in the Boston area, and Oedipus was the WBCN DJ who'd play the stuff in the clubs on commercial radio:

New London's long running punk power pop band, pre-Condo Fucks, is the Reducers

OMG, I remember Holy Cow, they used to play the QE2 in Albany all the time. Wow, like all these tiny local labels and compilations back in the 80s, I remember them. (Our local series was called "Hudson Rock")

So pleased to be finding out all the in-jokes behind this artefact. It's great.

Holy Cow had a kinda Psychic TV thing going on, didn't they? I recall a cover of Jesus Christ Superstar's "93 Lashes".

Yarl Kastremski (bendy), Monday, 24 March 2014 13:41 (ten years ago) link

I always got Holy Cow mixed up with Sleep Chamber. I thought Sleep Chamber were "Psychic TV with a really pronounced Boston accent" which made it impossible to take anything they did seriously.

(Trying to remember if my band supported Holy Cow or if it was my friend who played in a crappy industrial band, god my memory is really going.)

(Now I am going to have to go and dig through 8 billion crappy band flyers I did in the early 90s to find out which one it was NO NO I AM NOT, I AM GOING TO GO AND DEAL WITH LAMBETH COUNCIL.)

My band opened for the Lambeth Council once. Right nice bunch of lads

waterbabies (waterface), Monday, 24 March 2014 14:16 (ten years ago) link

Oh hey I played guitar for the Lambeth Council when we supported Sleaford Mods back in '94.
