Quadruple D-Side Fever – no more Kasual Kuts

KICKER CONSPIRACY

Lorryloads of lyrix mfg. f’ Saatchi2-era shuffle jingle in which no good note goes published. Uncred. harmonica player vs. M.E.S. in Rough Trading of Fours, 2-drm/Scanlon et aglio lineup remains unbuttered. A simple grain of PVC grit in atomic class war pseuded up f/Coronation St. capers. F-ball hooligans as schizoid spazzes? This is th. New Razz. Cowbells abused.

121984/5

WINGS

Neu primitif enthuso = brave oldster. 2”-tall TEAC caveman screams whilst Marilyn, Limahl pine fer th’ stupid sergeant, soon to be famous video vicar Gen. S. Jackson of the C.S.A. We were tarred ‘n’ feathered by 2300 hrs., no need f’r nagging Scanlon hook. About time, lads, stay unpoleaxed by indie chart-rigging of tweezered mnnqn. vermin.

AB/4

CONTAINER DRIVERS

(m)oldie freebo insert indicative/th. Beeb’s hate/hate affair with the Fall/Chart Rig Plot II? Cigs inhaled, acstc. gtr. painfully employed. Clarity & distortokitsch are th. same. ‘Not in my iso-booth,’ wingeth J. Sparrow (not th. Ethiopian, S1 obsessos). Enunciate! The Fall cannot hear yr. cruddy cries.

19/56

NEW PURITAN

Unrighteous Anti-Maelstrom Bake II enumerates yr. trnsgrssions w/ kickdrum/bunnystrum dry surf (oxym.) treatment plan straight out th. Cracker Factory Bible-IV. Cartel-distribbed gatefold conceals no H2O damage even after our men are doused w/ perfume, set aglow to cheers of asses v. classes. De-louse yr. record collection w/ this 2biscuit built f’ prole-sized coffee tables in HELL.
