Hi, I'm Orion. Yes, that's my real name. Who am I? Well, let's just say I'm some young record collector, who collects stuff from 60's and early 70's to be exact.

OrionsRecordCollection1998 20th Feb 2021		CD Album Various Artists - Pebbles Vol. 7: Chicago 2	Here's the Barney Pip version of Let It All Hang Out: [YouTube Video] The backing track is actually the original Hombres version, albeit slightly slowed down a bit.
OrionsRecordCollection1998 14th Jun 2020		CD Album The Driving Stupid - Horror Asparagus Stories	Review While most notably appearing on the compilation Pebbles Volume 3: The Acid Gallery, this contains a huge chunk of previously unreleased material by the band. Tracks 1 to 12 was originally planned to be released as an album in 1966, but was canceled and never saw the light of day until this compilation was released. Tracks 13 to 19 consist of demos recorded in New Mexico. The CD booklet has an interview with one of the band members explaining the history of The Driving Stupid, their formation, inspirations for writing the songs (sometimes changing some songs to avoid any controversy), details on recording sessions, a few photos here and there, and other bits of fun trivia. That aside, the music itself consists of songs with absurd and quirky lyrics and nonsensical storylines. Hide The Lobsters, The Reality Of (Air) Fried Borsk, We've Come To Take The Earth Away, Green Things Have Entered My Skin, Gladys and Water My Doing Here? are prime examples of this. If you're familiar with the B-52's song Rock Lobster, they're essentially apples to apples with each other. There are a few exceptions to this, namely How Do You Tell A Stranger? and Greensleeves (The Twa Corbies) aren't really as quirky or comical. Despite being dubbed "country" in the liner notes, I'm Gonna Bash Your Brains In have lyrics reminiscent of your typical punk tune about violently beating somebody up and mutilating their body. Overall, this CD is definitely worth listening to if you're into garage rock, punk, comedy rock, avant-rock, or just really weird stuff. Their music is supposed to be stupid on purpose, hence the name Driving Stupid. Although, I wouldn't say they're out there/outrageous like Frank Zappa or The Fugs. 5 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
