BUTTHOLE SURFERS - INDEPENDENT WORM SALOON 1993

Not too long ago I encouraged you all to check out their 

awesome 1987 album Locust Abortion Technician....well....that might have 

been too much for some of you so I thought I'd have another go with this 

1993 release which must easily be, for the uninitiated, their most listenable 

album to date. 

 That's not to say that this is a nice pleasant Sunday afternoon stroll of 

an album, no, the subject matter is still, no doubt, warped and disturbing 

but wrapped up inside some really good tunes containing great riffs and
intros to keep you entertained from start to finish.

Here's the video for the superb "Butt" kicking opening track "Who was 

in my room last night ?" which at the time became quite a hit.....

My favourite track on the album is E.D.G.A.R, which contains one of those
guitar solos that you just want to go on forever. Paul Leary's guitar work
on this song is of epic proportions....inspired tortuous soaring guitar runs
that conjure up the vision of him trying to tear the strings off the fretboard
using just his fingertips. The whole production on this song is so good that
it just wants to carry you off to their own alternate world.

Hope this may move you to check out this truly great and highly
innovative band further.....Good Luck !!
