The 1985 Listening Post - Jon Wayne - Texas Funeral

Jon Wayne - Texas Funeral



#497/1131
1985 Housekeeping
Jon Wayne
Texas Funeral
Genre: Cowpunk
1.75 out of 5



It’s not really psychobilly but it’s also too crazy to be just cowpunk.
It’s like this thing hates the genre its dabbling in, instead of giddily bathing in it ala Bloodhound Gang’s “A Lapdance is Always Better When the Stripper is Crying”. There’s nothing as hateful as that here, nor is there anything quite as…obnoxiously funny. 
This thing is a torturously long (40 minutes) vanity project by an engineer with studio access. Yes, I know it’s a parody.
That it’s not funny (and the joke wears thin super quick) is what I have issue with.
