The 1985 Listening Post - Pop-O-Pies - Joe's Third Record

Pop-O-Pies - Joe's Third Record


#250/901
1985 Housekeeping
Pop-O-Pies
Joe’s Third Record
Genre: Punk? Nah, more like assholes. 
1.5 out of 5


Highlights:
World of Morons

Most of this is awful. Music made by people who hate music, hate instruments, hate listeners, probably hate themselves. 
But I found “World of Morons” to be kind of funny. 
This is really the punk poetry descendent of Black Flag and Black Flag can keep them.
There is overlap between this “band” and Faith No More. And that could be why Faith No More leaves such a bad taste in my mouth. Maybe I, somehow, through osmosis, learned of this travesty (that makes Shockabilly sound like aesthetes) and decided to hate them vicariously. 

Fun Fact: This “band” got its start playing entire sets that consisted of just them covering (badly) The Grateful Dead’s Truckin’. 

Whatever. If you choose to listen to this, we are only covering their 1985 release, which is Tracks 7-14. Proceed with caution.
