I like a lot of really random stuff. Espcially music. Sure, I go through phases, but I've never been sold on 1 particular genre-I get really bored. Really fast.
An example:
10 years ago I went hiking with my family in NZ. These were the days before the iPod, so the number of CDs I could bring with me was limited to 2 (heartbreaking, I know). After a few days, I couldnt take it any more and was in desperate need of something new. When we arrived in civilization, I made a b-line for the nearest record store and bought the first CD I saw. I'd never heard of the band, but the music nerd behind the counter said the album was pretty good and the lyrics were funny as hell. The PARENTAL ADVISORY and EXCLUSIVE IMPORT stickers were really what sold me. Like most teenagers, I wanted what I wasn't supposed to have, so it was the epitome of judging an album by it's cover.
The album was The Bloodhound Gang's first full length titled Use Your Fingers. WOW. It was the raunchiest, most perverted, offensive, ridiculous shit I had EVER heard. But I couldn't stop listening, because to me, they were absolutley hysterical. They made fun of everything and everyone on that record-no one is safe. Not even Axl.It is easy to see why this album has been overlooked and easily discarded. It is offensive and it's not for everyone. But if you happen to be a person with a very open-minded sense of humour, you will appreciate the absurdity and dare I say, genius of two scrawny white dudes from the suburbs channeling 2 Live Crew.
