Teengenerate + why i like MacBooks

Now we're in business, we got Shrimp Cracker on board for the Blog Bonanza. Now I have to take this thing a little more seriously. I need to edit my stuff now (or at least proofread). Hopefully we'll have some other people joining too (irish, you chafe?). I'm happy to say that I have a new computer now (I'm still waiting to retrieve all of my files on my old one though), so I can resume my normal life. This new comp. came with Garage Band on it, so now I can record crappy sounding demos whenever I want (ye$$ - Nashville here I come). I promised Shrimp cracker that I would post some stuff, so here are some half-assed recordings. Once I actually learn how to use the program, I'll have Spector/Wall of Sound type stuff for ya.

Enough of that for now. One of my favorite bands from the early - mid '90s is Teengenerate. These guys were from Japan, and put out a slew of amazing LPs and singles. Lead singer Fink, along with Fifi, Sammy, and Shoe raised the bar for lo-fi fuzzed out rocknroll. Their recordings were so high in the red that you can barely understand a word he is singing, let alone trying to get through his really thick accent. Fink's grasp of the English language was not amazing either, but it all adds up to a whole lot of fun, and some of the most rockin material from that era. They took the best elements for rave-up rocknroll like Jerry Lee, Chuck Berry and Little Richard and added a Ramones style kick in the pants. A shout-out must go to Emplyee of The Month, for their post about the absolute genius that was Teengenerate.
