Human Flies and Surfin' Birds


I am between Saturday series at the moment. Any suggestions welcomed. Nothing too strenuous mind as it is the weekend after all.
In the interim here are the Cramps no strangers to strenuous music with some of their unique punky psychobilly.
Featuring the  husband and wife team of Poison Ivy and the sadly departed Lux Interior

Surfin' Bird - what an absolutely splendid racket

  3. The Cramps. Have you been raiding your brother's record collection?
    Series. What about Songs my Brother likes (ie your brother)? Which would be infiintely better than if it was Songs MY brother likes, all you would get would be the Alan Parsons Project, The Beatles and ELOs War Of The Worlds.

  5. How about a Cramps series? You'd get no quibbles from these quarters...

    1. Not sure if I have enough material - but best suggestion so far!

  6. When Drew had the Cramps the other day (ouch!), I said to myself, "self, when you get to the Cramps in your vinyl collection, there is no way you're going to pass up on Human Fly." Great minds think alike. The cover of Surfin' Bird is one of my favorites too. Fortunately for me, there are plenty of other Cramps songs in the sea. A little behind in my reading and catching up today. Great week of posts, sir.
