Icky Boyfriends
Icky Boyfriends - Pigs
Icky Boyfriends - Hotel California (Eagles cover)
Icky Boyfriends were an band (or was that anti-band?) from San Francisco in the early 90's. They fucking sucked and also fucking ruled. They have no idea how to play their instruments, so they choose not to. Instead, the flail about while the lead singer rants about his pet kitty, kidnapped co-eds, toe nails, and, of course, girls. "Pigs" is probably the best critique of America's quasi-police state that I've heard since "Copkilla". It's also 18 seconds long. "Hotel California" is a bad cover of a worse song, and it's one of the most entertaining things I've heard in ages. It rambles along until the lead singer forgets what line comes next. They've also got some songs that are really songs, more or less, but if you want to hear those you can pick up the new double disc retrospective A Love Obscene that just came out on Menlo Park. It's exhaustive, exhausting, and shockingly essential.
