THE REVIEW

"Songs The Lord Taught Us"

Composition: Lux Interior, Poison Ivy, Nick Knox, Bryan Gregory.

What it is: "Songs The Lord Taught Us" belongs to the class of landmark albums, medicinal products that combat boredom and apathy.

Why it is used: Pains of various origins and natures (headaches, stress-related neuralgias, heartaches, earaches, broken nails, elbows touching heels, spinning balls, menstrual pains, pre-exam sclerosis, post-exam sclerosis, annoyances of various derivations, post-binge stupors, etc., etc., etc...)

When it should not be used: hypersensitivity to the components, children under 14 years old, pregnancy and breastfeeding, deafness (no benefit achieved), severe heart failure.

Precautions for use: "Songs The Lord Taught Us" should be taken with caution by highly impressionable people and, more specifically, by those who have shown symptoms of emulation after listening to Punk, Wave and Rockabilly. Use should be avoided in the presence of psycholabile or emotionally unstable elements. Undesirable effects can be minimized with the use of massive doses of the same. Caution should be given to patients taking concomitant poor quality music which could increase the risk of addiction to the album.

It is important to know that: generally, the use of the product alters the sense of sleep and causes the exacerbation of symptoms of vampirism, lycanthropy, sleepwalking, and cramps. Caution is needed in patients with a history of elevated blood pressure as, in association with listening, cases of schizophrenic outbursts and acute crampian elvisitis (a rare but extremely contagious disease) have been reported.

How and when to use this album: at any hour of the day and night, on a full stomach or empty, drunk or sober, in short, whenever there is a necessity and need.

Storage: store carefully out of reach of children and ears with inadequate listening.

Expiry: indefinite.

The Cramps

The Cramps were an American psychobilly/garage punk band formed by Lux Interior (Erick Lee Purkhiser) and Poison Ivy (Kristy Marlana Wallace). Active from 1976 to 2009, they fused raw rockabilly with punk attitude, became fixtures of the CBGB scene, and built a cult legacy through incendiary records and notorious live shows.

 Their psychobilly can indeed be called a hallucinogenic and psychotic reinterpretation fully in homage to the models.

 It was worm-eaten by punk and etched with a crooked smile, akin to a Halloween pumpkin.
