You Can’t Boar Like an Eabla When You Work With Turkrys
Various Artists
(Amarillo)
“This budget-priced sampler is designed for Young and Old people who enjoy keeping up on today’s trends. If you are looking for top-quality entertainment at a popular price, your search is over…Enjoy yourself!” So says Amarillo Records about YOU CAN’T BOAR LIKE AN EABLA WHEN YOU WORK WITH TURKRYS. And they are right. This collection of good time, madcap joy should appeal to all sorts of scum, cads, vermin, sots, and imbeciles. Which is probably why I like it so much. There’s something here for everybody. You’ve got the poignant, Christian rock filth of the Zip Code Rapists and the tender, retarded melancholy of Anton LaVey’s soft lullaby “Hello Central, Give Me No Man’s Land.” Elsewhere, Charles Gocher sounds like a Vaudeville-era mental patient, and who can resist the wholesome, square-dancing fun of Today’s Sounds, the side-project of Meat Puppets’ drummer Derrick Bostrom? There’s even an excerpt here from the Great Phone Calls album on which zany, knuckle-head comedian Neil Hamburger uses his skills as a hot  screwball comic to book a gig at some club. WOW. Where else could such horseshit be so much fun and so budget-friendly?
