Una cosa sempre amata da bambino quando andavo con mio padre nella edicola sotto casa, era l'eventualità che lui mi comprasse una di quelle belle bustone colorate, quelle tutte scintillanti-imbottite di cianfrusaglie.
Figurine, colori, fumetti e macchinine mixate senza un criterio logico apparente, in pieno spirito random.
Questa gioia maturata si può provare musicalmente in maniera analoga nelle parate carnascialesche dei primi Butthole Surfers. I lavori di esordio, infatti, sono un insano appuntamento con cucine disparatissime, dai sapori inediti spesso stridenti. "Rembrandt Pussyhorse" vede la luce dopo il macromachine pietra miliare "Psychic Powerless" e si presenta subito con una veste di registrazione piu sontuosa; abbandonate in parte le scorribande eroinomani della "Mexican Caravan" e con sonorità piu educate, l'album di Haynes e soci mantiene comunque vertici elevatissimi di follia residentsiana.
Violini distorti, filastrocche al limite della psicosi, riverberi e schitarrate noisy popolano vivacemente il disco dei 5 texani. Se forte era la matrice hardcore incendiaria nei due lavori precedenti, qui la parentela con i misteriosi bulbi oculari è piu marcata e decisiva.
Album da avere necessariamente per ogni estimatore della musica sperimentale, noise e psichedelica.

01 Creep in the Cellar (02:04)
Well there's a creep in the cellar that I'am going to let in
And he eats in the alley and keeps track of my sins
When he starts talking backwards your head starts to spin
And he really freaks me out when he peels off his skin
Well there's a creep in the cellar that I' am going to let in
There's a hole in his brain where his mind should have to be
When he start rubbing wrinkles he gets pretty scared
Just like a nickelback,diamondback,Muscleback
Well there's a creep in the cellar with his hand in the air
And he lies to his mother but she doesn't care
When the fish are flying backwards we all just stare
Like the turkeys talking Backwards
Well there's a creep in the cellar that I' am going to let in
02 Sea Ferring (04:00)
His life as strange as it seems
It lies on it's side and screams
And nothing is quite what it
Dreams when it walks
PLays when it talks!
Dah da do
da da de dum
da da de dum
da da de dum
da da de dum
doo aaaaaaaaahhhhhh
All I want was a dream
You are luckiy if you escape with a scream
Where nothing is quite what it
seems when she walks
plays when she talks
and the earth screams like madmen
--MORE-- they laugh when she talks
strange that you thought
that the earth fell like the pouring rain
when its hot like it or not
you'll dream again again again
aaaaaaahhhhhhhh
brains when she talks
a cane when she walks
and the earth screams like a madman
in love when she talks
I know I have thoughts
and they all fall to pieces
when I speak I get cold
and I'm getting old
and we all scream again! again! again!
aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh
like a tick farm, like a sea horse, like a graveyard like a moron, like
a girlfriend like a tissue like a cardboard like a brick wall like a dream,
waiting to be
like a ball park like a hiccup like a blood clot like a brain stroke like
a long drip like a ??? like a dream , that I can see
like a house wife like a rapist like a tea cup like a bed pan like a cold
sore like an old friend, nothing seems so removed
but love is hard when you're true
and twice is far from the
Eath when it walks
and I know I can talk
but the words hover like a thousand vericose flies that know me
and I know I can see
but my eyes fill with pride and stupidity
this I know and I'm getting old
so I scream again again again
aaaaaaaaa hhhhhhhhhhhhh
10 Moving to Florida (04:32)

And I'm gonna bowl me a perfect game.
I'm gonna cut off my leg down in Florida.
And I'm gonna dance one-legged off in the rain.

And I'm gonna build me the atomic bomb.

Turn the muddy water into Vaseline stain.

That be tellin' Julio Iglesias what to sing, now.
Now, whoever said that Sidney Poitier was a blind man,
Knew the same of Elvis Presley, too.

know just exactly what to do. Right here.

12 To Parter (04:19)
And all the sailors who were junkies
All went sailing out to sea
And the white man sold quaaludes to the monkeys
And they all died high up in the trees
And all the teachers who were flunkies
They all taught you and me
And the white men, I`ll be goddamned if they`re
still selling quaaludes to the monkeys
And they're all, you and me, dying high up in the trees
