Comment:

I've been listening to a lot of these guys these days thanks to a recent reappraisal sparked by That Girl (TM), so it was with great pleasure that I compiled my favorite 80 minutes from Gibby & Co's "classic" indie period (Alternative Tentacles and Touch & Go, respectively). Pure anarchic (if occasionally inconsistent) goodness. Last tracks cut: "The Colored F.B.I. Guy," "American Woman," "Ricky," "Kuntz," "Woly Boly" and "Helicopter."

not real familiar w/ their music, but I've got a good gut feeling about this one. I love their cover of "Hurdy Gurdy Man."

I like what little I know on here Rob. They are a band I never fully embraced and only have a couple of records. I guess we should organize a trade pretty soon so I can comment properly.

Oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah! You included pretty much all the songs I would have put on - Lady Sniff is one of the most perfect songs ever written. Yay to "That Girl" for bringing out the best in our Rob!

Once again, I can't argue with any of your picks, Rob. I suspect much of the Surfers' music from this period falls under "you had to be there" as they were a wild-ass live act who's records never quite lived up to the concert experience. Too bad they had the falling out with T&G records. Woulda been a blast to see some car crash films, thunderous twin drumming and Gibby with a head fulla clothspins again.

I know little of theirs. Their only 'hit' single over here was the distinctly average and very beck-esque 'Pepper'. Having said that I know Lady Sniff, Sweet Loaf, Human Cannonball and a few others and they're pretty cool. Maybe I will indulge in a bit more of their stuff in future ( dreadful name for a band tho IMO)

Great. That was the precise period when I was into 'em, and you hit most my faves here. I've never replaced my old vinyl with cd's, though (as I pretty much liked a couple songs per album and couldn't really listen to the rest). "Hey" was a particular favorite.

My ignorance of this musical group is profound. I am unable to make a meaningful comment. So there you have it, another true confession, Thanks for that.
