Pere Ubu - Misery Goats

[@davidbeckerich]

Love it! Saw them live at CBGB's and they were playing songs from their first LP The Modern Dance and they kicked ass, David smashing two hammers together to make his industrial sounds. Enjoy because these are the things that give life pleasure!

"a challenging stew of inside-out song structures" is how art of walking is described in the ubu biography.

That bass line at the end of this is truly inspired!

[@joyceschlossbauer2710]

Makes me smile as much as it did the time I heard it! WHIPTHOSEGOATS!

[@milttrugood4817]

My favourite Ubu number.

Bought this album at Sam the Record Man in Toronto forty *fucking* years ago.

Silly fun. This weirdness was what I loved about punk.

[@dalexanderberry4317]

Nic Lawson this is not typical of most punk. I'm not even sure about how punk this is at all.

[@laszlofyre845]

Taint. Try New Wave (Pale offshoot of punk)

[@TheArrow1987]

@Nic Lawson: Well it's much more post-punk like. But yeah I like this weirdness too. The whole album is that great.

[@barrywooldridge2692]

Genius.

[@erniebuchinski3614]

Looks, kids - it's a song with a message: "Don't be no misery goat."

[@Nazzz65]

I can dig it!

[@Ronno4691]

I thought this was on the NME C82 cassette.... No wonder I could never find it....
