Busy Kids - s/t (self-released, 2002)

Some muy caliente ingredients fill this six-layer burrito, hombre. "Fist Of Rock" and "Shocker" taste like The New Bomb Turks laced with more of a picante punch a la The Weaklings. "Mission To Mexico" is a border run in the opposite direction from los banditos de particular from Vaaa Beeech (who once shouted, "Hot hot hot - What do you know? I ain't drivin' down to Mexico" on their "Shortcut To Disaster"). "Dawn Of The Dead" has a lil' black magic from The Hookers rather than Senyour Carlos' bag o'tricks. "Dirty Dog" searches in vain for Erik Estrada's perro that's been kidnapped by GEICO. "Climate Of Fear" finds a Lewd amiga dancing around a sombrero whilst being eyeballed by her not-so-amused padre ("Phphphphobia/Phobia in the atmosphere"). The food is great, even if the Aqua no es Fina.

  1. Go find the Busy Kids' performance on a Chicago public-access station via YouTube. You'll be transported to a time where "That's Incredible!" and "Kids Are People, Too" were programming choices.
