"Let's Have Fun!"    LP   1983   (SP002)

//------------------------------------------------------//

Liner Notes

Side One

1. Corporatized (3:34) a thoroughly commodified culture takes time, and commercials.

2. Spank That Honky To Death (3:06) we're just kidding, we really love the master race.

3. Youth For Understanding Japan (4:05) a song about teenagers reaching out to join hands across the Pacific.

4. Damballa (3:55) a voodoo praise song inspired by Maya Deren.

5. Mr. Indestructible (4:23) there's heroism, and then there's plain dumb luck.

6. Guesthouse (4:27) probably the freakiest Satanic rock song ever recorded, no kidding :-)

Side Two

1. Roundem Up (3:20) are we riding herd on an ecological apocalypse or just a cultural one?

2. Attila The Hun (The Pedestrian) (3:25) some of the greatest historical figures have been destroyers, but fortunately they eventually all turn to dust.

3. He's Back (3:16) Nixon was back at the time, but now he's gone and he won't come back again; statesman, president, hypocrite, thief.

4. Overexposed (3:45) lean way back and relax to a searing sound sculpture for postmodern listeners.

5. Balkan Countries (2:41) a World War II propaganda song written forty years too late.

6. Overtime (6:45) apparently most people are working too hard to notice that the bosses aren't.

7. Money (2:44) the lonesome cowpoke of Sherwood, TX puts a new twist on a rock classic.
