Mahonies – Eat ‘Em All 7” EP (Cass)

Not that I have to point this out, but this IS NOT the valuable release on Cass Records, the one that exits eBay for the price of a 1996 Camry with low miles. Thank me now or thank me later for that bit of investment advice. You can also thank me by understanding that hot dogs are the new boom-box in a world that assigns a “comedy gold” status to spoofing the cover of the most overrated Metallica album (sounds like fast classic rock and should have been erased from relevance by the three albums that followed it) and turning “Napoleon Dynamite” into a cartoon isn’t vetoed for its gross belatedness. Oh, this has 10 songs about stupid shit and will tickle fans of M.O.T.O., stupid shit, laughing at what isn’t funny because you believe you’re supposed to and other forms of terminal settling. Number pressed? I have no idea, but I can state with confidence that however many there are out there, it’s that number too many. (http://www.cassrecords.com)
