 (1 Customer Review)
With HAPPY HOUR, King Missile, the quirky lo-fi pop group centered around the rambling poetics and polemics of John S. Hall, moved up to the majors the only way they knew how. Producer Kramer adds another bump of the bizarre, and if there was ... Full Descriptionever any polished veneer on the album, it's thin as a stamp. If anything, the backgrounds wandered further off into the harsh, sparse, and experimental, and Hall's lyrics skewed more twisted and perverse. As tribal beats circle dervishly, "Martin Scorsese" imagines the iconic director accosted by a more violently intense version of himself, while the almost danceable surprise hit "Detachable Penis" told a meandering (but hilariously absurd) story of one man's worst Lower East Side morning after. The remainder of the album ranges from punk to jazz to sound art on an unsettling, at times uneven, but always fascinating record.
Producers: Kramer, Steve Watson, King Missile.
King Missile: Chris Xefos (vocals, keyboards, bass, percussion), John S. Hall (vocals); Roger Murdock (guitar, keyboards, drums, percussion, emulator); Dave Rick (guitar).
Additional personnel: Mal Rick (clarinet); Kramer (mellotron, bass).
Rolling Stone (3/5/93, p.39) - 3 Stars - Good - "...at times equals the textural brilliance of Captain Beefheart and Frank Zappa..."
Entertainment Weekly (2/12/93, p.57) - "...The songs are accessible, but never obvious enough to kill a laugh..." - Rating: A
Q (5/93, p.96) - 3 Stars - Good - "...black, and predominantly self-deprecating, humor runs rife alongside tricky tempo changes and the plain goofy....Hall has obviously struck a nerve..."
(3/93, p.53) - "...It's rare that music makes you laugh out loud and want to play air guitar at the same time....explodes into a cornucopia of weird things....tremendously fun..."
NME (Magazine) (4/3/93, p.28) - 7 - Very Good - "...a set of songs that range from delirious cartoon novelty to full-slam guitar swoon..." Hide Description King Missile Happy Hour Songs | 1. | Intro |

| | Dave Matthews Band Big Whiskey And The Groogrux King (w/DVD) CDs (2009) With DVD
Happy Hour songs
$19.05
The first studio album since the death of saxophonist LeRoi Moore, BIG WHISKEY AND THE GROOGRUX KING finds the Dave Matthews Band none the worse for wear and collaborating with superstar producer Rob Cavallo (best known for his extensive work with Green Day). Cavallo's way with an aggressive riff is in evidence on "Shake Me Like a Monkey," a funky track vaguely reminiscent of Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer," and the driving "Why I Am," which recalls the Knack's "My Sharona." Other songs, such as the groovy, polyrhythmic "Spaceman," find the band returning to classic jammy, chops-a-riffic DMB territory. Full of prominent ...

| | Rolling Stones Undercover CD (1983) Reissue; Remastered
Happy Hour CD music
$11.16
Digitally remastered by Bob Ludwig (Gateway Mastering Studios).
Up until 1983's UNDERCOVER, it had been quite a long time since rock's reigning aristocracy made anything besides their status as such (and the rewards thereof) an album's theme. But with the exception of "She Was Hot," a lustful rocker that wouldn't have sounded out of place on SOME GIRLS, this year's Rolling Stones had something else on their minds. There's violence amidst the freaky reggae and soul of ...

Coming as it did after the reflective folk-rock of 1988's FAILURE and the lush neo-psychedelic pop of 1990's classic DEAR 23, the more aggressive FROSTING ON THE BEATER was a surprise to many Posies fans. In fact, some thought that its layers of guitar noise, courtesy of producer and Sonic Youth associate Don Fleming, were ...
| | Chicago Very Best Of: Only The Beginning CDs (2002)
Happy Hour songs
$20.49  
Chicago commemorates 35 years of playing together with the career-spanning 2-CD anthology ONLY THE BEGINNING. This Windy City septet started out as one of the few '60s groups aside from Blood, Sweat & Tears and The Electric Flag to fuse a full horn section with a rock band. Chicago's early hits included more aggressive fare like "25 Or 6 To 4," "Beginnings," and a scorching cover of The Spencer Davis Group's "I'm A Man," but they became known as a ballads ...
