Comments: Early Butthole Surfers equals Music made for, by, and of heavy psychedelic drug use and Locust Abortion Technician is no exception. This is the pinnacle of the Buttholes’ highly experimental music. They dabble in Punk, Heavy Metal, Noise Rock, and definitely psychedlia. Without a doubt this is the group’s best offering up until then and since. I really dig the humor and chaos of “Sweat Loaf,” it is certainly a fantastic opener and really sets you up for what is to come. “Kuntz,” a remixing of an old Thai song and “22 Going On 23,” a disturbing/awkwardly amusing recount of a sexual assault case and its effects on the victim, round out my favorite tracks on this record. Overall, this is the kind of album that should be heard for its experimentation and the overall sound collage, oh and yeah, also for you and your pals to giggle and say “WTF?!!!” Turn it up at loud volumes, blast it as high as you can and freak out the whole neighborhood! In short, I feel like this serves better as a handbook for those who want to make experimental music, rather than an album you listen to again and again. With that being said, it is quite listenable and worthy of praise for it’s somewhat brave and unquestionably unique style. Basically, the Buttholes entered the studio and fumbled around with what they had (which was limited), took tons of acid (amongst other substances I can imagine) and ultimately created a really cool, trippy experience for all of us music lovers.

Funny Pic of the Day
Box Elders To Provide Polka Music
Unless there’s another Box Elders in Nebraska, the Box Elders that KLYAM knows and loves will be providing polka music at the American Legion Hall in Tobias, Nebraska this Saturday, August 21.
I can’t imagine this happening just as much as I can’t imagine another Nebraskan band choosing to name themselves Box Elders. That’s blasphemous…even if from a polka act!
Hot Femme of the Day
Watching Happiness (1998) at 4 AM and having an immediate urge to post this pic of Lara Flynn Boyle lol. I think we make enough posts featuring females as artists, performers, entertainers, activists, etc to justify the occasional Hot Femme of the Day pic, which of course is all about the eye candy. After all, this isn’t a feminist blog (though you may find feminist ideas), but I felt like clearing all that up just for fuck’s sake. And if you think this segment objectifies women, well then, get your own blog.
Happy BDAY – Jared Swilley!
Jared Swilley, bassist/vocalist of the best band ever, Black Lips, turns 27 years old today. As a honorary KLYAMer, we wish Jared the best on this day.
