asp's classic albums # 60: girls against boys - cruise yourself
 
 

GIRLS AGAINST BOYS "CRUISE YOURSELF"
Touch and Go, 1994

This one never fails to cheer me up... Two basses, noise guitar, some organs, absurd lyrics that had to have been written when the guitarist/singer was drunk. Some kind of weird lounge indie noise rock hybrid. Great band. They had some albums that were darker and meaner and some that were a little catchier, but this one's one of my favorite albums ever.

Would I like this? Y/N

I saw GVSB live at the time this came out, and they were every bit as fantastic as the album itself. Perfect fuck music. Like Urge Overkill wanted to be but didn't have the sex.

But I actually prefer Venus Luxure No 1 Baby.

This record is great, I bought it when I was like 15 I guess, and it blew my mind ever since

greedrex 01.17.2009 04:41 AM

Weird, it took many days for people to reply to this. I was starting to wonder.

My favorite part is "I've seen this movie before.. here comes the good part: SOCKITTOMELIFESTYLE." Hah.

greedrex 02.02.2009 02:21 PM

the only shit Lp they put out was "Freak on ica". it's really a big pile of smelly overproduced crap.
The rest is fantastic.

Venus Luxure No. 1 Baby is a better album, in my opinion.
