Although the Surfers aren't afraid to offer up a fairly straightforward punk song (the rocked-out "Human Cannonball" hints at their future accessibility), these mad sonic scientists seem most comfortable making listeners uncomfortable, as on the closing "22 Going on 23," which happily and intrepidly pushes the limits of offensive subject matter. Though some Surfers diehards (particularly those frightened by this record's surely Gacy-inspired clown face cover) favor the group's earlier work, most fans will attest to the bizarre majesty of LOCUST ABORTION TECHNICIAN.

Although the Surfers aren't afraid to offer up a fairly straightforward punk song (the rocked-out "Human Cannonball" hints at their future accessibility), these mad sonic scientists seem most comfortable making listeners uncomfortable, as on the closing "22 Going on 23," which happily and intrepidly pushes the limits of offensive subject matter. Though some Surfers diehards (particularly those frightened by this record's surely Gacy-inspired clown face cover) favor the group's even earlier work, most fans will attest to the bizarre majesty of LOCUST ABORTION TECHNICIAN.

Widely considered to be the Butthole Surfers' crowning achievement, 1987's LOCUST ABORTION TECHNICIAN plays to the Texas acid-rock band's strengths, unveiling one twisted tune after another. The album begins with "Sweat Loaf," the group's skewering of (and/or tribute to) Black Sabbath's "Sweet Leaf," and then moves on to the sinister, lumbering "Graveyard." As always, the gleefully subversive ensemble's calling cards are Paul Leary's blistering guitar lines and Gibby Haynes's maniacal yelping and distorted crooning.

Butthole Surfers: Gibby Haynes (vocals); Paul Leary (guitar); Jeff Pinker (bass); King Koffey (drums).

Uncut (p.84) - 5 stars out of 5 -- "[P]robably the Buttholes' finest work....They're best remembered as purveyors of the best sort of '70s excess."
Uncut (8/01, p.114) - "...The Buttholes were never quite this strange again..."
Alternative Press (7/95, p.83) - Ranked #28 in AP's list of the `Top 99 Of '85-'95' - "...LOCUST ABORTION TECHNICIAN....represents the Buttholes at their most deliberately focused, confrontational, and downright evil..."
Mojo (Publisher) (3/03, p.76) - Ranked #48 in Mojo's "Top 50 Punk Albums".
Mojo (Publisher) (3/01, p.115) - "...This is a genius-flecked bad trip through a senseless world....The best recorded representation of their oeuvre, teetering between celebration of and revulsion at the sickness endemic in American society..."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.52) - Ranked #5 in Mojo's "The 50 Most Out There Albums Of All Time" - "[O]ne of the most unsettling records of all time."

Locust Abortion Technician CD music
CD $12.79  Top 500
The CD version of REMBRANDT PUSSYHORSE also contains the CREAM CORN FROM THE SOCKET OF DAVIS EP. The cassette version contains only the REMBRANDT PUSSYHORSE LP. Everything seems to start almost normally on Pussyhorse with "Creep in the Cellar," even with the rather gone violin line -- Haynes is intelligible, the piano part is quiet serene. Then again, Haynes is talking about the creep in question doing things like taking off his skin, so clearly all is still at least somewhat tweaked in Surferland. The rest of the album makes that pretty clear; if not quite as strong as Psychic...Powerless, Pussyhorse is still a strong slice of homegrown art/psychedelia gone to a murky hell. Gentler songs like "Sea Ferring" still have a distinct queasiness to them, its sea chanty feeling undercut by the nagging bassline and Haynes' yelps. When the group goes totally nuts, as on a drum-blasting, squiggly voiced cover of the Guess Who's "American Woman" that makes the later Lenny Kravitz version seem like the redundant slice of ...

This audio document of The Corrs' Dublin homecoming concert has pretty much everything fans of Irish pop could wish for, including an appearance from Bono in his earthly incarnation, fresh from an audience with President George W. Bush. It's to the band's credit that the charismatic singer fails to steal the show, despite creditable efforts via an anthemized version of Ryan Adams' beautifully downtempo "When the Stars Go Blue," and a great, leering rendition ...

When the Reverend Horton Heat returned with a sophomore album, he had fellow manic Texan Gibby Haynes (of Butthole Surfers fame) riding the production board. Recorded in Memphis's Ardent Studios, GOSPEL SOUNDS is yet another rabble-rousing batch of slap bass, breakneck-speed guitar, and the raspy singing of the good Reverend Heat (Jim Heath). When Heat isn't whooping it up with the lascivious "Wiggle Stick," ...

Jimmy Durante At The Copacabana CD  (1961)

Locust Abortion Technician songs
CD $9.89  Audio Samples
In 1961, Jimmy Durante could look back fondly on half a century of entertaining Gotham audiences, from a hot jazz combo way up in Harlem all the way down to his virtuoso ragtime solos at Coney Island (and including hundreds of venues in between). Nostalgia was never a pitfall with Durante, though. His stint at the Copacabana on E. 60th St. during the early '60s could hardly have been any less uproarious and chaotic than his earliest comedy acts. Immediately Durante reaches a gallop with "I Could Have Danced All Night," but stops the song ...
