didn't know they were a legit band

it's okay . . . not sure why I need to listen to it tho

banger

this came out in the 70s. THE 19-freaking-70S!!

good background

booty shaker

If there's one thing that I learned when I still a child it's to take up hiding.

cool. different. vocals don't keep up with music

this is an album for making out, yeah?

poppier than expected.

honest lyrics

all I'd heard before from BB was Laugh Laugh. good band.

I focused on the tambourine on most tracks. they use them a lot. I'd like to hear billy corgan cover the songs he co-wrote. there is no reason to hear this before you die.

gary gilmore's eyes - in 1977 gary gilmore was the first person in ten years to be killed by the death penalty in the US (firing squad). He was convicted of murdering two people and he, himself, demanded the death penalty.

Gilmore also requested his body parts be donated. Two people received transplants of his corneas. The song supposes these recipients are stigmatized and facing a tormenting dilemma by receiving the cold blooded killer's eyes:

"The doctors are avoiding me.
My vision is confused.
. . .
The eye receives the messages,
And sends them to the brain.
No guarantee the stimuli must be perceived the same... "

Kinda like that Simpsons's Halloween episode "Hell Toupee" where Homer gets a hair transplant from Snake after he's executed. Post-transplant the hair causes Homer to kill Moe and Apu for revenge, becomes sentient, etc.

Classic Americana!

old Doug Ingle. . .

lol, Tidal has him listed as "Doug Tingle"

very long version of Papa was a Rolling Stone

like an early 2000s brit-pop cover band doing original material.

this is the type of band to be in. just chill af

classic
