Flipper Appreciation

[Mr. Kamikazi]

Flipper has been in my top five bands that matter and get me going the minute I listened to them. Art Punk, snotty, vague and mysterious, intellectual, harmlessly confrontational, repetitive. Almost provided comfort to the inevitable bleakness and reality of our existence.

 I have also included in this two recent discoveries of Bruce Lose's/Loose/s/Calderwood's solo project (just ordered the 7" of discogs for silly cheap) & Any Three Initial's (ATI) another project post-Flipper with Will Shatter that is truly grand in terms of heaviness and an indicator of crossover beginning to a heavier, metal sound.





















I encourage you to check it all out. That Flipper studio tape is wild as it has songs on it that are nowhere else in terms of recording.

Flipper is sick. I freaked out when I heard they redid Sacrifice with the Melvins, who covered it in '92.

Geez.

Am stoked to say that when my groomsmen and wife's bridesmaids walked out and we were introduced as a married couple, Sex Bomb blared. It was actually my wife's idea which ruled.

so much power and agency



used to huff nitrous and smoke weed with the hottest, hippy girl from Flint, MI to this and to Velocity Girl Copacetic, without ever getting further than kissing real hard, and i don't regret saying this...god bless her wherever she is...
