The 1981 Listening Post - Thee Milkshakes - Talkin’ bout….

 



#568

1981 Housekeeping

Thee Milkshakes

Talkin’ bout….

Genre: Russ Meyer soundtrack.

3.5 out of 5




Or Rat Pfink a Boo Boo. 

Or Incredibly Strange Creatures that became Mixed Up Zombies. 


Basically this is the music that accompanies a Cash Flagg or Russ Meyer joint. Cuz they can’t afford Strawberry Alarm Clock and any Psychedelic Garage bands of the era.


If you study this kind of music and are versed enough in 1-4-5 or blues progressions, you can write this stuff and it will sound a lot like this. Everything feels like it might fall out of tune at any moment. And that’s the charm.


There are no real highlights cuz every song is pretty interchangeable. 


Missed: Not really. But it wouldn’t have killed me to have heard/had it.
