The Screamin' Mee-Mees
Plastic Hong Hong Door Bell Finger
(Gulcher 610)

The Screamin' Mee-Mees are back!  And it's back to basics, kids.  For the
Mee-Mees' first proper release in eleven years (after a slew of archival digs
more recently), they turn away from the psychodelik tweaks and layering of
their
90s recordings.  The duo returns to its basic mid-70s form:  two adult
children bashing away and making it up as they go along.  That's Jon Ashline
on drums
and stoopid ad-lib lyrics, and there's Bruce Cole on the guitar.  The guest
bass seat this time is filled by Ann Rerun, the first female to enter this
brotherhood's inner sanctum in its 35 years of existence.  The five "tunes"
with
Miss Rerun concern a variety of social topics:  plentiful gasoline, fried
chicken, spillin' stuff on people, special sales, and reality itself.  Bruce
finds
his voice on the brief but brutally effective "Blue Trashcan."  The boys get
kinda "experimental" with a lengthy double-guitar thing called "Flyin' Skull
Fragments," which sounds like what a Captain Beefheart demo might've been like
if Mr. Van Vliet plucked at guitar strings instead of playing one-finger
piano.  The two final "top secret mysterious unknown bonus tracks" find Bruce
screwin' around with his audio generator in a fidgety Krautrock-like manner. 
The
end.  Now, how 'bout a sip of the Mee-Mees' new hot sody?  It's been settin'
in
the sun for quite awhile now.
