Album Of The Semi-Kind Of-Maybe-FREAK!
May 31, 2008
Pere Ubu – New Picnic Time
Anarchy, whimsy, joy, hedonistic freedom, violent, loving, surreal release. Maria, these are a few of MY favorite things. If you like this album perhaps also check out the revolutionary The Modern Dance.
As always, you can listen to the album to the right in the sidebar widget, just click on the appropriate folder, then on the song.
“Pere Ubu is not now nor has it ever been a viable commercial venture. We won’t sleep on floors, we won’t tour endlessly and we’re embarrassed by self-promotion. Add to that a laissez-faire attitude to the mechanics of career advancement and a demanding artistic agenda and you’ve got a recipe for real failure. That has been our one significant success to this date: we are the longest-lasting, most disastrous commercial outfit to ever appear in rock ‘n’ roll. No one can come close to matching our loss to longevity ratio.” – David Thomas
