Jesus Lizard, “Mouth Breather” from Goat

That’s right, finally got my remastered copy of Goat, which’d been backordered as part of my holiday windfall of Jesus Lizard reishes!

It’s funny, I think we all come independently to the conclusion that these guys have a major Zeppelin thing going on, not very far under the surface. (Compare it with the nastier moment where you go, oh, all those latter-day Tom Waits records are just fake Beefheart, and you promptly discard them, Mark Ribot or no Mark Ribot.) Anywho, there are other times, for me, when this Jesus Lizard band just sort of is Led Zeppelin, fighting an earthier war, sans occult, against a world of big musclebound fucks. Don’t know how to explain it any other way, and don’t know who’s getting the better end of the compliment.This is “bad attitude” music that makes me want to do shit, good shit.

Also, this particular song is about Slint drum-warrior Britt Walford. How much more you going to ask for?
