Scratch Acid - "The Greatest Gift" (1982-1986)
Frantic, Grinding, Far-out, truly terrifying Texas punk rock...chances are you will never hear anything quite like Scratch Acid. The Greatest Gift is the bands complete catalogue on one CD (Two EP's and one full length). The material consists of some sort of whacked out psychedelic punk reminiscent of early Butthole Surfers and maybe a touch of Mr. Bungle thrown in but not really like either of those bands at all if that makes any sense because any comparison is far fetched honestly. This music scares me not in a cheesy ass Michale Graves-era Misfits kinda way (for the record Michale Graves-era Misfits are too cheesy to be anything but laughable)...There are songs about human incineration, cannibalism, mold taking over someone's house, and a cover from the "Jesus Christ Superstar" soundtrack all on the same album...That shit keeps me up at night...Get it on I-tunes or Amazon, good luck finding it in a store...

cannibalism...one time i was browsing profiles in ES virginia and came across a guy that claimed to be a cannibal, saying "The thought of consuming human flesh excites me." he might have been gay, too. can anybody with a schlong imagine a worse combination than homosexuality and cannibalism? yikes.
