LMNOP - Pound (babysue, 1996)

Latest release from this long-running, one-man show. Here's what I refer to as a "collage album." Forty songs (each one lasting a minute or so) home-taped. Written lyrics with no evidence of any chorus. Sounds like the Minutemen, right? Though LMNOP operates under similar guidelines, musically, he does not resemble the likes of D. Boon and company. Some may be tempted to call this "power pop," but because my Pell Grant at the Eric Worden School of Music Journalism has long expired, I'll use that term when it's better suited to fit. There's no way in hell that "Unnatural Interest In Excretory Functions," "Retarded Fucker" and "KKK Crown" ("Fuck your shitty little world") will ever pop up on the milk-and-cookies fest that is "Adult Alternative" radio. If your life is spent wondering how "I Started A Joke"-era Bee Gees would've turned out had they been forced to eat their own feces, weigh in on Pound.
