CANNED HAMM
Karazma! (Pro-Am)
Reviewed by John Sekerka

Do you, like me, long for knee-slapping outgoing answering machine messages? Well Charlie, you've hit paydirt. Not only do Canned Hamm offer up a tasty party platter of swinging bachelor pad muzak, they slap on some juvenile telephone hilarity as a hidden track. So funny the boys can hardly contain themselves. Picture hairy chests (and damn proud of it), moustaches, rhinestone denim, pink scarves, satin lounge robes (embroidered with initials of course), heavy gold necklaces and a karaoke machine: a dream come true. The humour is blunt, obvious, tedious and brilliantly moronic: forced entertainment at its peak. This is Neil Hamburger territory with cheesy beatbox backing, sure to cause mass head-scratching, and destined for cult adoration. Can't wait for the tour.
