Loose Ends: Born Stupid by Paul Leary

This week Mike and Alex tie up some loose ends by talking about Born Stupid by the great Paul Leary. Leary is the co-founder of the Butthole Surfers (check out episode 54 for our full episode on them) and this is his first solo album in 30 years. Spoiler alert: it's weird. Afterward, we talk about music we're currently listening to, awkwardly asking musicians for photos, and River's Edge with Keanu Reeves and Crispin Glover.

Episode 54: Butthole Surfers

This week we’re discussing the wild and unpredictable Butthole Surfers. Formed by Paul Leary and Gibby Haynes, these guys defined what insanity was. In addition to mind-boggling shows, the Butthole Surfers had a remarkable talent for tape manipulation and studio experimentation, resulting in some of the creepiest, most hilarious, and endlessly entertaining records. They managed to find mainstream success in the 90s, however by that point their records had become fairly docile. Even still, they remain one of the most influential and psychotic bands to ever roll around onstage completely nude.

Closing track: “22 Going on 23” from Locust Abortion Technician (1987)
