Gina Calavera and Kenyon Corazon have come up with 12 minutes and 4 seconds of music that makes me want the rest. NOW! I'm WAITING! It's funny... no, hilarious, and it's funky and rocks at the same time, which doesn't happen often enough anymore. Gina and Kenyon converse musically in such a way that you aren't sure who's wearing the pants (or the strap-on, as the case may be), but there's heat and tension in them thar voices, much as it was between Fee Waybill and Re Stiles (and later Martha Davis) in The Tubes. Only the subject matter isn't as "normal" this time around. This time it's about sharing razor blades, kiddie porn and STDs. Don't fret: the kiddie porn bit is just a funny line in one of the three songs. They're not really serious. They're off the wall. They're off EVERY wall. They're off the freakin' ceiling. They're so strange they had to make even stranger music to surround them, but they made sure it moved and had power. Awesome stuff. Now somebody find them, toss them into the studio and don't let them out until they have an entire album done. I MEAN IT!
