Re: (TV) Pere Ubu's DUB HOUSING

[Maurice Rickard <maurice@greenmarketplace.com>]

It is a prime one.  Ubu has that way of grabbing your brainstem and 
not letting go.  I remember picking up my copy on vinyl some years 
back, and I went through the same thing for...must have been almost a 
year.  It kept drawing me back in, and I get instant nostalgia.  "On 
the Surface" has always been one of my favorites, along with the next 
few tunes: "Dub Housing" (Tom Herman's playing on that still thrills 
me), and the ultra-creepy "Caligari."    "I Will Wait," "Dance 
Party," and "Blow, Daddy-O" always stick with me, as well.

When you get the Datapanik box set, I'd be interested in hearing if 
_New Picnic Time_ has the same effect on you as it did on me--it was 
the only thing that could get _The Modern Dance_ and _Dub Housing_ 
out of my head.  Those three albums are masterpieces of American 
rust-belt junkyard surrealism.  Enjoy.
