Screamin' Jay Hawkins, of course, is the mad godfather of horror rock, and the Fuzztones are hirsute garage revivalists now approaching their fourth decade of activity. This brief EP from 1984 captures four songs from a live performance replete with Hawkins' trademark weird gibberish and profanity and the band's prime, organ-heavy psychedelia. Not much else to say about this one except "Some father's son is gonna get a furburger."Tuesday, November 9, 2010

I think that "Screamin'" is an official title, like Doctor or Senator. You have to take this test at the DMV or someplace else where they measure how screamin' you are. If you pass, they give you a little badge with a sassy goblin face on it, because, you know, screamin'!
ReplyDeleteOver in the UK it's a bit more formal. See: Screaming Lord Sutch.
ReplyDeleteThe first question on the screamin' test is whether or not you own a cape.
ReplyDeleteThis is correct. With some work, you too can be Screamin'(g) with impunity.
