Here’s a bunch of images I haven’t published yet from the vinyl road rage trek across ‘Merica 2009. Complete with snarky commentary and juvenile behavior.

You can always count on the gospel goofies for bad album cover fun. The name of this record by The Talleys is, in case you can’t read the script, Music With A Message. Judging by the array of instruments on the cover of this howler, you can bet that the message is “This music sucks.”

The word “baka” in Japanese means “stupid” or could even mean in the right context “retarded” in the current 7th grade put-down sense of the word. So for this record to be called Bakabillie Boogie is more amusing…to me. Unfortunately you can’t really see from this photograph that none of the band members are wearing pants. Yes, the dude in the middle is wearing a crotch holster.

Yes, that is Screeching Weasel and Dvorak in the same music collection. Who doesn’t love them both?

Which Ramones are we playing for the kiddies today? “Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue” or maybe “53rd and 3rd”? Let’s play a nice rousing kiddie version of “We’re A Happy Family”, and make sure the children all join in when we sing “We’re all making fortunes selling daddy’s dope!” Woohooo! Oh, wow–a kiddie version of Chinese Rocks! AWESOME! Spike a vein, sonny.

You know what? Never mind a caption on this one. That look on the statue’s face speaks for itself.
