random song/video
“Just Got Paid” by Rapeman
Yes this is Steve Albini’s band of Merry Pranksters with a lovingly bone-crushing deconstruction of the ZZ Top classic. I caught this tune on a college station while I was driving home from the grocery store and my daughter just could not make heads or tails of it.
P.S: I’ve been dying to post this song for ages. It’s rivaled only by “Kim Gordon’s Panties” for best song on the record (read: the song I like the best). Unfortunately Touch and Go doesn’t sell individual tracks and I don’t feel like spending $10 to download the whole album just to keep you amused. So you get this lame YouTube link bullshit.
I’m sure you’ll live.
P.P.S: I actually Googled “die” to make sure I used the correct spelling of the past participle and it still doesn’t look right to me. Some words look misspelled even when they’re not.
Totally boss! Damn, that was cool…

You seem to be alone in that opinion, my friend. I played this song again the other day and my daughter literally put her fingers in her ears.

Afterwards, did she break out her dip and tell you don’t be messin’ with Texas?

Aw that takes me back. The Shellac seven inches are some of the ones I’m most worried about, from the flooding. Someone told me that mold can grow in the grooves. That sounds like a bad thing.

As someone who had nearly his entire lifetime collection of books destroyed in a flood let me say that I feel your pain. God, though, those singles are fucking priceless…
