The flipside is a bit different. "Rodeo...8 Seconds" is a strangely lighthearted hoedown, concerning the tragic Greensboro Massacre between Communist Workers Party members and neo-Nazi thugs in November of 1979. Dark humor to say the very least. This is followed up by "Napalm Beach," a relatively frivolous party song, and finally, the 'Muthas wrap things up with the Devo-informed "Party Topic."
I decided not to post the album sleeve, but it is included in the folder. I wouldn't want to give any of you the wrong impression, because it's pretty safe to say The Othermothers were purely going for shock value. They strike me as too well-versed to be a bunch of good 'ol boys, as I'm sure you'll concur.

I bought this shortly after it came out and have always wondered if they ever did anything else. So now I guess I know. I just recently got the means to rip vinyl myself and "You And Yours" was one of the first songs I did as a test last month. It sounded like crap, so I'm really looking forward to hearing your rip.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate the info you have here, it's the first and only thing I've ever seen about the band. Now I'm off to check out their Myspace page. Thanks.
