| single-disc overview of the early output of l.a. art-punkers urinals ...
these minimal/terse jabs have been getting under my skin as of recent ; they were hugely influential on, amongst others, the minutemen (who went as far a covering “ack ack ack ack” on “3-way tie (for last)”) ... while there are ties from urinals to the concurrent lafms scene, for the most part this is linear, scaled back song-based short-sharp-shock (average song-length hovers in the 60-90 second range) ... |

| urinals - negative capability ... check it out! [wlr003]
finally repressed! this highly regarded collection of historical tracks by seminal l.a. punkers the urinals. now in their 30th year, what better time to celebrate the band that inspired a generation of punk, art-punk, post-punk, and pop-punk bands, from the minutemen and gun club to yo la tengo and butthole surfers, in addition to newer bands such as no age, the dishes, the reds, and st-37.
this 31 song collection features such urinals classics as "i'm a bug", "black hole", and "ack ack ack ack", in addition to a selection of madcap covers such as the "jetson's theme", and songs by soft machine and roky erickson. recordings were made between 1978 and 1980, during the heyday of american punk. includes the complete "urinals," "another ep," and "sex/go away girl" 7-inch material, 3 tunes from long out-of-print compilations, several unreleased studio and rehearsal pieces, and samples from the band's archive of live tapes, including their very first performance as a three-piece. also includes nifty color sticker insert of the cover image. |
