"If the sadness of life makes you tired
And the failures of man make you sigh
You can look to the time soon arriving
When this noble experiment winds down and calls it a day"
from "Noble Experiment" by Thinking Fellers Union Local 282 from the LP Strangers from the Universe.
Bob Dinners and Larry Noodles Present Tubby Turdner's Celebrity Avalanche is the final album by Thinking Fellers Union Local 282, released in 2001 through Communion Records.
SF Weekly called the album "the band's most layered recording yet, with no shortage of keyboards, overdubs, vocal harmonies, and perplexing noises." The East Bay Express wrote that "strange and ordinary instruments converge to make a blend of music that is at once identifiable but yet vastly different from anything you've ever heard before."[9] Portland Mercury wrote: "Stooges riffs clash with mechanical clicks; quivering melodies frame John Bonham-style percussion blasts, then melt Velveeta-smooth into cracked-out vocal asides."[11] CMJ New Music Monthly wrote that "an immense, haunting radiance erupts from [the band's] tortured instruments." - Wikipedia

Too late to look up if I've ever done a #MusicalOffering for #ThinkingFellersUnionLocal282 or not, but was just listening to this deep cut and wanted to share. If I've not done them before, will circle around tomorrow and add some personal commentary about one of my absolute favests. Until then, from Wormed By Leonard, enjoy I Don't Know
Adding on to this, here is a drawing I did ages ago based on the album's opening track "My Pal The Tortoise." Text borrowed from the cover of "Admonishing the Bishops" EP.
(I kinda want to put this on a shirt, but like, just for myself - unsure of how that works - it's not a vector illustration or anything...π€ ) #Art #Cartooning #ThinkingFellersUnionLocal282
