The 1986 Listening Post - Shonen Knife - Pretty Little Baka Boy

Shonen Knife - Pretty Little Baka Boy

For my birthday one year the bass player in my band gifted me with a shonen Knife album and...I didn’t really get it. 
Here we are, 16 years later and...

I still don’t. 

This sounds like a what “supai da man” would if it was a record. A knock off that doesn’t really care or understand the original. 

Thing is: Supaida Man was actually sanctioned by Stan Lee, who worked on it so that, to me, gives even more credibility to my simile. 

There’s just a touch of cred in this and that’s enough to not make me hate it. But I can not love it.
