Bob & Tom - I Spent The War In Indiana / Oh Danny Quayle - 11-Apr-07 12:37 PM
Back in 1988 Dan Quayle was running for Vice President and the national news immediately reported that Quayle had avoided the Viet Nam War by having his wealthy father pull some strings and get him into the Indiana National Guard. Of course Bob & Tom were a ready to ape him as was every other comedian at the time. The comedy team created a song called "I Spent The War In Indiana" which was parody of the states anthem "Back Home Again In Indiana". The song was aired on their morning show a few times...probably less than a week. They made national news headlines within 24 hours of the airing the song. This parody angered a few people, mostly the Quayle family who owned the media competition in town, the Indianapolis Star newspaper, and they moved to put pressure on WFBQ to pull the song. Bob & Tom were not very happy and decided to release the song on cassette.

This is the pulled album cover. The story goes that the photo was purchased at a garage sale. Yes, the photogenic couple pictured here were selling off family pictures to anyone who happened by. Little did they know what was going to be done with it. Apparently the couple had "found Jesus" and were now embarrassed about the silly picture and proceeded to sue the band. A class act to the end.

Electric Light Orchestra - Face The Music - 24-Oct-05 02:10 AM
During the 1980’s in America, this record above any another drew the ire of religious fundamentalist twits who were sure backwards messages in rock-n-roll records were going to make us all go to hell. This record has backwards masking on it in a couple of places that are very clear. Track A1 has the message “The music is reversible, but time is not…turn back…turn back.” when played backwards. On side two after the song ‘Strange Magic’ and during the beginning of “Down Home Town” there is another message. Spinning the disc backwards reveals something like “catch the mighty water fall taste the mighty water fall”. Other clues that this record is for all you Satan worshipers out there, is the fact that they look possessed with red glowing eyes on the back cover. Ok Jeff, thanks for the evil tips. The dark lord is proud of you.

Top roots-rockers-dub label. PS and Blood & Fire are probably the best two around. Some things to keep in mind when buying. CDs generally contain bonus tracks. Double LPs are generally arranged to DJ with. Unfortunately if you like vinyl for audio reasons, many of the records I have purchased are in really bad shape out of the box. If you can find a copy that doesnt have the vinyl is bubbling up somewhere or some other pressing defect - hang onto it! I think everything Ive ever got from them has a noisy lead. If the stoned guys at the pressing plant would keep their sticky resin fingers off the records it would help.

Submit is a great record but maybe too metal for the younger industrial crowd. If you fall into that category just get Industrial and Desensitized. Everything past that is doesnt work for me, though they get an A for the attempt to evolve the band. It made for a definite broader fan-base and showing of metalheads, grindcore kids, rivitheads, and punk rockers at the later shows. Twelve years later these three records still stand the test of time.
