Because it's Christmas...

Let me post a link to The Jesus Lizard. This band was so good they didn't even need a lead singer. And then they had a lead singer who showed his testicles.

The clip is from Thunderdome (aka CBGB).


Here Comes Dudley, the leadoff track from Goat, which recorder Steve Albini qualifies as the best album he ever worked on during his reign of Pouty Post-Punk Dictator (which is saying something, considering he's made 3 of my favorite 50 records ever; In Utero, Surfer Rosa, and the Wedding Present's Seamonsters.) into...

Gladiator. If rock and roll could've been frozen at any point in time, I'd choose this moment: when this song came out, so bass players and drummers would've realized how to play together. The Jesus Lizard rhythm section is unheralded in all the lands.

Don't worry about the words or the frontman. Drummer's creed.
