Sneaky Pinks - I Can't Wait + 2 EP (Rubber Vomit, 2005)

Choosing a record for my first post was a fairly difficult decision: an unknown, a familiar favorite or a proven landmark? Ultimately, I pussed out and settled on an entry with which I’d had an early and personal involvement.

See,
I’d originally volunteered to put out this single after hearing it via mp3—How could I resist its gooey mélange of Hubble Bubble / Spits / Radio X-inspired retardation? Even the cringe-inducing phrasing found in Life Stupid, I Stupid was so beguilingly executed that hearing it would undoubtedly make Anthony Kiedis’ sculpted bits twitter in delight. A series of increasingly lame excuses and dire financial circumstances ensured my banishment prior to its eventual release, however. Everything's OK now though cuz those two transplanted Illinois knuckleheads came through in the clutch and ended up delivering a prime cut in the process.

I’ll forgo any further hyping of this record, as it’s already evoked plenty of internet chatter. This synesthetic bit of gimcrackery sews it up most effectively, anyway:

"the sneaky pinks’ sound is like making love for the first time while listening to g.g. allin's always was, is and always shall be—the silence between songs punctuated solely by the occasional, errant queef."
