There are those (apparently) insignificant records that 99.89898989 - estimated excessively - per mille of the world's population absolutely do not care about. But absolutely nothing-at-all.
But if those folks, boorish as they are, neither care nor even notice in case of instigated instigation to perception, it's certainly not my fault or the fault of the other 0.21212121 (also excessively estimated) of the remaining globeterranean humanity.
To the others (?) I say:
there must be a reason if two of the most virtuous and recognized and different entities of [very] grumpy American sound agreed to (in order) record it, extrapolate it, publish it, and finally take it on tour, thereby making it available to whoever wants it and delivering it to posterity.
Right?
The schedule is as classic as you can imagine: like facing a honeyed 1974 Fiat 500 Giardinetta.
- King Buzzo and company:
rummage through the bloody "Smashed etc. etc." and extract the second track on the list, the sinister "Alleged", making cathartically appropriate use of it and making it theirs.
But I mean truly theirs: they make it theirs: the original harmonica is transubstantiated here into some kind of trivial vintage keyboard (or perhaps it’s some quirky guitar effect). In short: is it clear that they make it theirs?
- Guess what the Unsane trio from New York does instead:
exactly, precisely, indisputably what you’ve always hoped: they dive into "Stag" and start thrashing one of the most caustic and dulling archaeological finds, that "The Bloat" that begins to ooze blood from all 10 strings (bass+guitar) as soon as Chris starts and dismantles the original sulfurous riffing.
Beautiful things, indeed.
Yes, it’s true: there are (apparently) insignificant records.
Well, I dare say this is not one of them.
Even if everything would lead you to think so.
Or for some (indefatigable) it is.
Long live the 0.21212121.
The others, fools, can manage on their own.
P.S.
the cover, in the finest late-Hellenic tradition, is double-sided Herm: so in this case, you can also choose the one that pleases you the most.
