The 1984 Listening Post - Flipper - Gone Fishin'

Flipper - Gone Fishin'


#219
August 29 1984
Flipper
Gone Fishin’
3.75 out of 5

Highlights:
In Life My Friends
Talk’s Cheap

I get Flipper and The Germs confused. I am not sure why. I really liked Generic Flipper but on this I feel like I got it the first time and I don’t need anymore. However, if I had to choose between Flipper and Sonic Youth (who I feel is a cousin, musically) I will take Flipper almost any day. They just seem like they are willing to die for their music and Thurston Moore would be happy in a jam band.
If the drummer was better, or even good, Yeast Infection might’ve come close to this band. Also, if the guitarist could play. And if there was a bassist.
