Flipper...
 
One of my all time favorite bands, but all I own by them is various mixes that Ive downloaded illegally. I cant seem to find any cd's or vinyls by them, could anyone reccomend a website that reveals my stupidity and lack of music seaching ability and has flipper records? And while were on the sbject, does anyone know where i can find the first Half Japanese box set and the recording Jad did with Daniel Johnston?

What a clown.

Seriously though, Generic isn't too hard to come by, is it?

I know the CD is a bit on the pricey side though; I've held off buying it so far 'cause I haven't found it cheap enough.

as cali faux-surfer dudes say, "dude brah thanks so totally richter much brah"

Strange. I was just thinking about Flipper today. I haven't listened to Generic in ages and my memory of it is that Sex Bomb is one of the greatest things ever but the rest of it is only so-so. I really want to hear it again though because I can't actually remember much of it, bar Sex Bomb of course.

I've said this story a few times, but I sold Generic a few years ago for $40-50 (can't remember; it ended up being a bit more after shipping). I saw like 500 copies of that at a local pawn shop that went out of business a few months back. Anyway, Flipper are okay, don't see what the big deal is, but I really like their lyrics.

there's a great little invention called ebay

LittlePuppetBoy 12.19.2007 10:47 PM

Good band. I love the distortion on both the bass and the guitar

yeah i think so too

I think the first album is amazing! Sex Bomb would have to be one of my least favourite songs on the album.

auto-aim 12.20.2007 07:23 AM

im the same - I love sex bomb the rest is hit and miss... but mostly miss.

SuperCreep 12.20.2007 11:03 AM

Generic is a near masterpiece for me. It's only fault is the sped-up vocals on Life Is Cheap. Fuck, those are annoying.

atsonicpark 12.20.2007 03:20 PM

again... their lyrics... "Life is the only thing worth living for." is just amazing. Yearbook quote and so on.

It turned out that it had nothing to do with Yow, Buzz, Watt. It was just a cover band opening for Jesus Lizard...

crikey...thanks for the news, andrei. no wonder no one knew who the drummer was. how the hell did they come up with watt and buzzo as part of the the line-up? I tell ya, some people.

Since I knew that Yow and Shellac did a set of Sex Pistols covers at the Lounge Ax for Halloween '98, I just naturally assumed the torrent poster knew what the fuck.
