I Wouldn't Piss On Your Body If Your Heart Was On Fire



Speaking of the greatest rock outfits of the past quarter-century... super-crackly bootleg/Monkees Fan Club edition of the "Winged" 7" that was originally given away with one issue of Forced Exposure or another; this (a Cramps cover and a Urinals cover) plus the "Headburn" EP should be all it takes to convince anyone of the beauty and greatness that was Halo of Flies... includes a reworked "Ballad of Extreme Hate" tacked onto the end of side two, which has never been mentioned in any of the discographies I've seen (perhaps they didn't recognize what it was). There you go, I solved that mystery for you.





Halo of Flies -

"Human Fly"

"I'm a Bug"

"Ballad of Extreme Hate"

You are on a serious roll. Once again, thank you! My ex has "borrowed" my 'music for insect minds' cd for, oh, 9 years now...

Well, at least he knew enough to take one of the really good CDs...

(btw, to everyone else -- both "Human Fly" and "I'm a Bug" are on Insect Minds -- though I think the vinyl versions sound more blown-out -- but the 30-second version of "Extreme Hate" isn't)
