Halloween with The Countdown Singers, Martha Stewart, and James Brown

Do you like the Halloween decoration I bought? It cost me a dollar and was probably made by someone who doesn't speak or write English. I'm sure he received 50 lashings with the shitty wire that joins these two pieces together.

So I decided to do a Halloween entry this year. It takes a while to collect things to do a Halloween entry because there really isn't a lot of unique Halloween material out there. A lot of it gets re-recycled from decades ago. Ever get a pair of underwear from a friend that belonged to another friend of his? That's pretty much what Halloween albums are like. They're old, they stink, and they have brown shit streaks on them.


Sounds of Horror



This 2 CD set from Sonoma Entertainment contain audio that was likely purchased elsewhere. That's why they can sell these albums for three bucks brand new. They pay a low price for the audio and make a million copies. The first disc on this CD set has some extremely ancient sound effects that were originally released back in the days of vinyl. These noises are so old that they belong in the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame. Hey, if they can induct rap music into the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame, why not sound effects? Anyway, this is just a single track of sounds that people usually play out their window while kids are trick or treating.

Disc 2 contains individual tracks. Why aren't they strung into one long track? Does someone sit and listen to this and say, "Oh, I really don't like "Entering The Crypt", I'd rather hear "Haunted Woods". I don't understand the purpose of splitting this shit up.


Spooky Sounds



Guess what? I got ripped off when I bought this one because it's the same as the first disc of "Sounds of Horror". That's how they make money. They scam you into thinking that you're buying a different collection of noises, but it the same shit, different package. Thanks, Sonoma Entertainment, and go fuck yourself.


Martha Stewart Living - Spooky Scary Sounds for Halloween



I was hoping this was just an audio track of Martha Stewart cooking up some liver and onions or some shit, but it's one track of sound effects. The good news about this one is it's on the Rhino record label which means you're getting some good quality noises on this one. The down side is this is the shortest one of the bunch. Also, I haven't a fucking clue what Martha Stewart has to do with it. Perhaps someone recorded audio of her taking a slimy shit and it's buried in the mix somewhere. At least there's a recipe for Caramel Apples in the liner notes.


60 Min Horror Sound Effects



I seem to recall seeing this one in the dollar store. From memory, I think it came in a bubble pack with a cardboard backing. I think I got this as a freebie in a batch of other CDs that nobody wanted. It's another one-track-wonder, but it has a guest appearance by James Brown. I'm not kidding! They used his scream from the beginning of "I Feel Good" as a horror sound!

Listen to James Brown

The horror factor here is they potentially dug up his grave and got him to record his famous scream just for this release.

So, what can you do with all these sound effect albums? You can mix them all together to make the ultimate Halloween scary sounds track! Two of them have heartbeats as background noise, so it eventually just melts into a low rumble that sounds identical to a cheap, blank low noise 60 minute cassette that you used to be able to buy in a 3-Pak at Zellers. When you put it all together, it sounds like a Halloween warzone.

Listen to the super, ultimate halloween sounds collection!


The Countdown Singers and Orchestra - Monster Mash and Other Terrifying Tunes



When the hell did The Countdown Singers get an orchestra? This should have been front page news! The reality is they didn't have enough shitty cover songs to fill a CD, so they used some classical music pieces from some of their other releases to fatten up the length of this crappy album.

I've covered this version of Monster Mash in this entry. Remember the one where they stole the original intro off a really scratchy LP, filtered the hell out of the scratches, and then spliced in their poopy version? That copy of it came from a Drew's Lamous album, so either Drew got it from the same place Sonoma Entertainment did, or Sonoma is just Drew's Lamous under another company name. Who cares, it's all the same trash.

Ghostbusters is always a treat. There are so many knock-off versions out there that you never know which one you're going to get. This one was recorded in someone's basement. It's really bad.

I can't figure out what the lyrics in this version of "Love Potion Number 9" are supposed to be. The best I can make out is him singing "I told her that I wasn't fucked with chicks". Don't believe me? Listen to it yourself.

The classical music pieces aren't really that scary and sound out of place. We have the Twilight Zone movie theme which sounds nothing like the theme from the TV show. We also have Psycho: Suite for Strings, and Batman/Robin Hood. Yeah, because nothing scares the shit out of me more than a guy in green tights. I really can't help but wonder who the dipshit was who put this compilation together. Instead of using the classical music pieces, they should have just thrown in Bridge Over Troubled Water, The Rose, Grandpa, and Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain. You can tell I've been writing this blog for way too long.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled Junq Tour

Junq Tour 2019: Brandon (MCC)

Three thrift stores, three separate entries. The MCC always provides me with a lot of material. It's like they prepare for my visit by putting as much dog shit as possible onto their shelves.

Sing Along with The Busy Beavers



Look what we have here... A bunch of beavers sticking flutes in their holes. This is obviously a Chipmunks knock-off. Instead of Alvin, we have Igor and two other beavers who's names are not known. They certainly didn't think much about the children when they recorded this thing. The back of the album brags about how good the quality of the vinyl and mastering is. Is that supposed to make up for the fact that this album is shit?

The Craddock Kids - Canada



1967 marked the 100th year of confederation in Canada, so everybody decided to make an album about it. On this particular instance, we have a bunch of singing kids who are currently on the verge of retirement or death. I would love to see a "where are they now" special about them.

Apparently the single (which I'm featuring here) has sold a quarter of a million copies. These washed-up kid singers apparently appeared on the Perry Como show, another washed-up singer. The album sales had these kids laughing all the way to the grocery store to get their free candy bar in lieu of royalties. When they became adults, there were no successful music careers to be had so they all got shit-shovelling jobs which crushed all the dreams they ever had.

Listen to Canada


Andy Zachary and Karen - Cheeko, My Pony



It's not often I find an autographed 45. In fact I think this is my first one. This almost sounds like a cheap imitation Mickey & Bunny. It's a cute song. Apparently Andy Zachary and Karen also released a full length album. If I ever find it, you bet I'll post it.

Listen to Cheeko, My Pony


Rebecca Dawn - I Believe



You get a rainbow instead of a sunrise this time. For some reason on the back, there's a picture of a girl named Shianne which I'm assuming is Rebecca's daughter (who performs two songs), but we have no clue what Rebecca looks like.

This time around, you get the other Bette Midler song everyone hates and Rebecca does it absolutely no justice.

Listen to Wind Beneath My Wings


Keath Barrie - Fifty, or So



Oh look! An old man face floating in the sky! Barrie the Baritone graces us with 22 songs that we didn't want to hear, following closely in the footsteps of the more successful Roger Whittaker but without dawning glasses or a cat. Most of these are old songs that time has thankfully forgotten. However, Keath thought it was a good idea to try and lower Roy Orbison's "Blue Bayou" by about four octaves. It sounds terrible. I tried to go to Keath's website which is listed on the inlay, but it's gone. The bandwidth police must have arrested him for internet pollution.

Listen to Blue Bayou


Judy Hiebert - To My Father



It was sealed, and I foolishly decided to let this trash roam free. It's not very good, and there's no effects on Judy's vocals. It was recorded at Century 21 Studios in Winnipeg. The funny thing is I have absolutely no clue where Century 21 is, so I can't go down there and throw this piece of shit CD at the producer's head.

Listen to Grandpa (yes, you get to hear it again)


John Bressler - By Popular Demand



This guy has a pretty cool voice, but there's too much echo on it. He's also a good piano player, but the instrumentation backing him up sounds like trash buried under a pile of grass clippings and dog feces. He actually performs a decent version of Floyd Cramer's "Last Date", but unfortunately his version of Paul Mauriat's "Love is Blue" is buried under the bad instrumentation which plagues this album. Chariots of fire would have been good but the piano is mixed too low. Whoever did the mixing job here needs a swift kick in the ears. John also does a version of The Rose which is another song I'm getting sick of seeing covered.

Listen to Piano Man
Listen to Last Date



Safety Kids - Personal Safety



Putting a judgement on this is difficult for one simple reason... The tape is sticky and doesn't play. This is a curse of certain formulations of magnetic tape from the late 1970s and early 1980s. In my experience, the Reel 2 Reel format is the worst culprit for this. I've never seen this problem on the 8-track format (another victory for 8-tracks!) This tape needs to be baked to eliminate the problem, but I can't be bothered to do it for a bunch of dumb songs about safety. Sticky tape is one of the reasons that there should NOT be a cassette comeback.

I almost successfully pulled one song from it, so you at least get to hear that. The beginning and end of the song are kind of fucked up though.

Listen to Look For a Grandma


Tennessee Ed Derkach - Good Ole Camp Meeting Days



At last, we have an album that completely sucks. Every song on here is like nails on a chalkboard. It's hard to decide what song to feature when they're all terrible. The best part about this tape is the talented lead guitar player, but he simply cannot shine with so much other crap going on.

According to the inlay, Ed was saved at the young age of nine and baptized with the Holy Ghost and fire at age fourteen. What kind of a church sets 14 year old boys on fire? Despite these achievements, Ed never learned to spell his name correctly and did it two different ways on his album cover. Perhaps he never recovered from the trauma of being a roasted marshmallow.

Also according to the inlay, Ed is a full time gospel singer. If I was subjected to this horrible shit every Sunday, I'd probably burn down the church. There must be an abundance of sin in this congregation for God to subject them to this crap.

Feel free to send him some hate mail since he decided to put his address right on the album cover.

Let's take a cruise through Brandon and visit the next closet of horrors...

Junq Tour 2019: Manitou

Welcome to the Blend special! We are blending a bunch of crap into one entry.


Coffeehouse Blend - Wing and a Prayer



You see all those people on the cover? Only one of them plays an instrument. All the others sing, but no harmonies are to be found on here. These are all really old songs. The newest one is probably the Mama Cass song. These guys aren't terrible, just boring.

Listen to Dream A Little Dream


Roy Royston - On Her Land



Nice Mullet! Bad Unchained Melody!

Listen to Unchained Melody


The Lea Family at Pembina Crossing



After looking at the cover, I can't help but wonder how much incest is going on in this family. It's not like the usual mom, dad and the kids band that I see. I see one mom, one dad, three kids, and an uncle daddy.

The production of this tape is pretty good, but the performances aren't very interesting nor are they very good.

Listen to Daddy Sang Bass
Listen to Grandpa


Dusty Road



The road was fine in comparison to how dusty this fucking record was. On the cover, we have a guy from the Dukes of Hazzard jacking off a car. On the back, we have everyone's autograph. Too bad the car didn't try and autograph it by running it over.

If you want to hear the least obnoxious version of Mule Skinner Blues ever recorded, click below.

Listen to Mule Skinner Blues


Smilin' Johnnie - Watching Our Country Die



This guy should call himself "Frowning Johnnie" because all he does is bitch and complain about everything. You know what I'd like to hear? I'd love to hear an obnoxious punk band cover every song on this album.

You know what the scariest thing about Smilin' Johnnie is? According to the back of the album, he has at least seven other albums. He can't be smilin' that much because I've never seen any of them, so he couldn't have made that much money from his music career. Johnnie isn't smiling any more because he died in 2010. I guess he died before his country did.

Listen to So They Call It The New Country Music
Listen to Watchin' Our Country Die


Country Blend - Loving You



Hey! Another band with "blend" in their name! Hey! We've seen one of these people before, haven't we?

Looks like she got herself a worse haircut than the one from the last album. Her piano playing is still fantastic though.

Over the period of about a month, I started coming across lots of albums by Country Blend. My only guess for the influx of these albums is two of the members died.

Last time I posted a picture of Joan MacKay's album but never posted a song. We shall change that this time so you can enjoy her piano bashing. She is most certainly the star in this band.

Listen to Beer Barrel Polka


Country Blend - You're The Reason



HEY! Where the hell did Joan MacKay go? Did she die? Why did they replace her with this bald motherfucker? Can he bash a piano just as good? The answer is no. This album is a pile of shit without Joan. There's absolutely no life in it.

Listen to a really shitty version of Tennessee Flat Top Box

Next, we head over to Brandon where all your wheat are belong to us...

Junq Tour 2019: Winkler (Teen Challenge)

Teen Challenge is a brand new thrift store that opened in Winkler just a couple of weeks before my arrival. It's a damn nice thrift store which also sells new hand-made items. The prices were quite reasonable for the most part, and I ended up buying a ton of stuff from there. I hope you've got some time to kill, because this is a long one!

Willie & Rodi - Coming Home



This year, we get another visit from our friends the Longeneckers! They must be a favourite here in the Christian Wheat Belt. They even put a picture of a sunrise on the back of the CD to make me happy. The other thing that makes me happy is the keyboard player's name is Alan Allen. The guy's parents obviously hated him when he was born.

I don't really know any of these songs, so I just picked an Elvis song.

Listen to Crying In The Chapel


Peter Hnatiuk - An Old Fashion Ukrainian Wedding



I'm going to go on a rant here. I've been working on doing a discography on Peter Hnatiuk. I own every album he put out and a bunch of others that he guest starred on. He was extremely popular in the Manitoba Ukrainian music scene. His albums are mostly in Ukrainian, but he's got some really good English songs mixed in as well.

Anyway, this CD came out on a label called "Baba's Records" with a completely different cover and a completely different album title. I was pretty certain that I had the vinyl counterpart, and I located it so I could do some comparisons.



The quality of the CD is fucking awful. Whoever transferred this to CD decided to bugger with the controls. It sounds like my stereo speakers are buried under pillows, and there's extra reverb on everything. My LP copy in comparison sounds crisp, clear, and fantastic. If anyone out there is looking for Peter Hnatiuk albums, do yourself a favour and don't buy any of the Baba's Records releases. Wait for me to put the albums online. They're all transferred, so I just need a bit of time to get everything together.

I present the following for your comparison:

Listen to the CD version of "Nobody To Live With"
Listen to the LP version of "Nobody To Live With"


Zaretski - Just Hangin'



There are a few things wrong here... First of all, nobody smokes doobs in the Christian Wheat Belt because marijuana is known as the devil's plant who's roots are firmly planted in hell. Second, six karaoke versions of these songs have been included on the album. I honestly can't say that these songs are so good that I'm desperate to sing along with them. Third, Zaretski's website and email belong to Pangea who was bought out by MTS around the year 2000, so I can't send him any fan or hate mail which will certainly cause me some sleepless nights.

Listen to How Many Days


Bootleg 8-tracks



The Best of Hank Williams from Sound Enterprises Inc (probably not inc) comes in a beautiful gold shell and has a picture of a fingerprint that someone jizzed on. It has a 30 day warranty from the purchase date in 1972. Despite my searching, I couldn't find an exact album that this is stolen from, but there's a bazillion Hank Williams compilations out there that predate 1972, so it's anybody's guess as to whether this is an original compilation or not.



The Very Best of Anne Murray features a brown and green picture of what I can only assume is Anne Murray's band, but somehow I think it's just a generic picture that this unknown record label (probably named Stereo-8) uses on all their bootlegs. I also can't find an album that this is stolen from and given that Anne Murray doesn't have much for compilations that predate 1974, it seems that this is an original compilation. It's also recorded too loud and distorted as all hell.

Listen to distorted Snowbird


Nashville Artists - Country Hits for Lovers



I think I came up with what "ARC" stands for... Artists Recording Crap. Yes, it's another piece of shit from Arc records. You were better off buying the bootleg Hank Williams album I already mentioned because this isn't the real thing and probably retailed for more money.

Listen to Lovesick Blues


Nashville Guitars - Music To Park By



What's with all these shitty knock-off albums featuring bands with the word "Nashville" in their band name? At least this one is a bit more authentic because it actually came from Nashville. It's also the first time I've heard of Gusto Records.

Anyway, look at the nice sunset on the cover. I'm surprised this isn't a Christian album. The shell is a somewhat translucent white which I generally don't see either. All the songs on here are instrumentals, and the Beatles cover is the only song chopped in half because of the pesky way the 8-track format worked. On the plus side, it's not the worst thing I've ever heard. It sounds kinda like a Ventures knock-off.

Listen to Let It Be


Tammy Wynette's Greatest Hits



Freedom! The greatest name in music! If you have to tell everyone you're the greatest name in music, you're probably a piece of crap company who makes knock-off albums. It's not a bootleg this time, it's a bunch of assholes in a closet with their 8-track recorder. On the back of the tape, there's some small text that reads "Simulated by The Soundmasters". However, the sound quality on program three is surprisingly good.

I refurbish every 8-track before it goes in my deck and despite my efforts, not every tape plays well. This is one of them. I figured I should give a disclaimer because last time I worked at making a shitty knock-off tape play and it played like crap, I was given a hard time (see the comments on this entry). I've been fixing 8-tracks consistently for around 30 years, and there's some you just can't save.

Listen to Golden Ring
Listen to Stand By Your Man


Hits Of Tammy Wynette



Whoever owned this lot of 8-tracks previously had shitty luck when it came to purchasing authentic Tammy Wynette music because he got burned twice. More fake Tammy on this one and the alternate title "Sounds Like Tammy Wynette" is on the spine, and I haven't a fucking clue who the androgynous asshole is on the cover, but it looks nothing like Tammy Wynette. The record label is called "Charm Tapes". I can tell you for certain, there is absolutely no charm in this hunk of plastic.

Listen to I Don't Wanna Play House


Mariposa Reeds - Gordon Lightfoot Instrumentals



We're really scraping the bottom of Arc's shitty discography in this entry. We have a bunch of Muzak covers of early Gordon Lightfoot songs this time. You won't find Battle of the Edmund Fitzgerald or Sundown on this collection. In fact, I only know two songs on this collection. Gordon's early work was pretty boring, but that never stops a crappy record label from farting out some notes to make a quick buck.

Listen to For Lovin' Me


The Mexican Banditos - Lennon & McCartney Tijuana Style



Apparently, I wasn't the only one who thought this album from Arc was trash. The owner of this 8-track recorded some Suzi Quatro onto it. I have another copy of this in my queue box somewhere, but for this round, you get Suzi.

Listen to If You Can't Give Me Love


Sweet Country Hits



HEY! Why isn't this from Arc? We were on a roll!

This time you get a batch of crap from Odyssey Productions. It's quite difficult to see that it's not the real artists since every song is credited things like "The Statler Brothers Style". There is an extremely small disclaimer in red text that says "The songs on this tape were recorded by our studio musicians in the same style and arrangements as the original hits recorded and made famous by the artists noted". Whoever wrote this should get 50% of the royalties of every knock-off piece of shit that contains this statement. I've seen this exact wording multiple times. It should go down as a famous piece of literature.

Anyway, here's some fake Statler Brothers.

Listen to Flowers On The Wall


Tsufit - Under The Mediterranean Sky



This is a bootleg copy of an album that nobody cares enough about to be concerned that it's being bootlegged. It's not bad musically, but Mrs. Tsufit seems to enjoy writing songs that portray her as a snotty bitch. Not only that, almost half of these songs are in a language nobody cares to learn. The song I pulled skips, but it seems to be that way on the CD, so Tsufit is getting a pretty bad representation on Classical Gas Emissions. But who am I fooling? She wasn't getting a good representation anyway.

Listen to Broccoli's On Sale at Dominion


Red Robe Women - Not Alone



This album is laced with aboriginal issues (in Canada). It's one of those political issues that I won't touch with a 12 inch pole, and this isn't a place to discuss politics. However, I have no problem judging this album on it's ability to musically please my ears. It fucking sucks. It consists of mostly rap music mish mashed with traditional aboriginal music. That's like trying to mix folk music with screamo.

Listen to Not Alone


Ray Allen and The Upbeats - Tribute to 6



When famous artists die, there's always some asshole trying to cash in on it. The asshole in this case is Arc Records (again). Even though it's in bold (albeit small text) on the cover, someone only noticed the big names on the cover and gave Arc Records more money that it didn't need.

The worst part about this album is the covers aren't even close to the original songs. The closest one is La Bamba, and not only is it terrible, they spelled it wrong on the album cover. I'm honestly surprised that Buddy Holly didn't get his dead ass out of the grave and murder this Ray Allen jerk for fucking up his songs. The day this piece of shit came out was the day the music died.

Don't believe me? I dare you to listen.

Listen to Peggy Sue
Listen to Chantilly Lace

Jake Fehr & The Fehr's - Country Gospel



Yes, the apostrophe is in the name. Also, a bunch of the song titles are spelled wrong. Seems there may have been some inbreeding in the Fehr family which caused some loss of intelligence. The cover is printed on Kodak paper to give it that professional look (ha ha ha).

These guys play like they're all drunk, and they probably are. It's REALLY BAD. They ruin all your favourites here, such as "Gathering Bud's", "I Just Wont To Thank You", "I Sow The Light" and " I Bin Redeem". Enjoy!

And away we goo to Manitou!

Junq Tour 2019: Winkler (MCC)

For such a big store, I always have trouble finding things to buy. However, there were a few interesting thingies...

DVD: Get Off The Couch



Some local Winnipeg "celebrities" (and i use that term loosely) got together to try and motivate kids to get their asses off the couch and do some physical activities. The entire thing was inspired by this one fat kid in the video. Notice how the T-shirt she was given fits her perfectly while the same shirt is grossly oversized on all the other kids.



The celebrities include radio personality Ace Burpee (excuse me), children's entertainer Aaron Burnette (more on him later) and Diana Betteridge (whoever the hell she is).

For the benefit of children who are hard of hearing, they used an interpreter on the video which is great, but they only used it on the chorus of the song. You can choose the video with lyrics, but there's no subtitles for the dialogue, so complete inclusion is out the fucking window. Why do the deaf kids always have to suffer. There is also no option for closed caption subtitles. Fortunately, most deaf kids won't give a fuck about who Ace Burpee is because deaf people can't listen to the radio.

The song prominently features a banjo. Aaron Burnette prominently plays a guitar on the video. Why must we tell the children lies? According to the winnipeginmotion.ca site, you can request your own free dvd without subtitles (I paid a dollar for mine). You can also download the sheet music in case you want to play your own guitar-sounding-like-a-banjo cover of this lousy song.

Listen to the song


after all that exercising, its time for...

Valdis Wally Jirgens - Just Plain Relaxing



I only included this album to make the above joke. The guy's a decent piano player, but there's nothing interesting on the album. Let's move on...


Aaron Burnett - Think Green



after getting all exercised from Aaron playing his guitar that sounds like a banjo, we get to learn about environment shit. Its a very preachy album full of doom and gloom. In other words, it's noise pollution. I'm not sure how I feel about this being a children's album. It's good for children to think about the future, but I'd probably rank this album just below "Free To Be... You and Me" for being an album created to fill an agenda.

Listen to Carbon Footprint


Guess what? We have a new store to visit! Stay tuned!

Junq Tour 2019: Winkler (Gospel Echoes)

I usually try to combine all the thrift stores of the same town into one entry. This time around, I've found so much stuff that I've had to do them in separate entries. You're in for a LOT of stuff this year.

It's rare that the Gospel Echoes store disappoints me. It certainly didn't this time.


Tom & Lori albums

 


So why haven't Tom & Lori graced the pages of Classical Gas Emissions yet? Probably because they're not extremely exciting nor terrible. They're one of those artists that puts you to sleep because their music is extremely mediocre. The "Stuff Dreams Are Made Of" album is just a bunch of boring covers of songs nobody cares about. Their "Reflections" album is almost as boring except for the song "My Only Bad Habit" with tries to be sweet and romantic, but comes off as stupid, corny, and dumb.

Listen to My Only Bad Habit


The Abigails - A Moment In Time



"Hey Abagail! My friend Joe who is a wanna-be gangsta rap artist has a copy of Protools. He said we could go over to his house and record an album on any Sunday morning when we have a bad hangover from drinking too much the night before."

"That sounds great, Abagail! I have no sense of rhythm, but I'm sure anything can be fixed in Protools."

And that's how we got this thing released on "Jo Boy Records". Nobody bothered to use a click track or a metronome. The songs occasionally fall flat on their face after tripping over their own shoelaces. I swear that these songs were recorded in one take.

Listen to Spanish Sails


The Phillips Family Puppets




LOOK AT THE COVER. Absolutely terrifying! I think the green one needs medical attention.

There is no actual picture of the puppets, so I can't help but wonder if the puppets are actually real, or if this is a concept puppet album. If it's a concept album, I wouldn't be surprised if the entire Phillips family has a drug problem.

Despite this record not being in the cellophane, I doubt anybody ever took it out of the sleeve. It played like a 40 year old virgin.

My favourite song on this one is about the devil making you steal cookies. You see, devils don't really have anything worthwhile to do. They could be causing wars, scaring people with ghosts, or driving cars over people for sport. Instead, they make people steal cookies from a jar inside their own house. This my friends, is where we need the support groups, therapists, counsellors, interventions, and exorcisms. Cookie stealing is a big problem, especially when it's in your own house. This is why God wants to bring the rapture. Imagine how many cookies will be saved!

Maria - So Aus Daut Leew Es



I saw an entire case of Maria's album, sitting on the floor of the thrift store, being purchased by absolutely nobody. I felt really bad for Maria because she obviously had a very difficult time selling copies of her album. Now that cassettes are almost obsolete, nobody really wants to give her album a chance.



Well, Maria, Classical Gas Emissions is here to make things better! You shall have your chance to grace the world with your beautiful voice, enjoy the interesting and catchy music you've come up with, and give the world the opportunity to enjoy your abundance of creativity and talent.

After listening to it, I'm most certainly sorry I bought this atrocious piece of shit.

Now, look closely at the cover, specifically the guitars. I'll give a prize to the person who figures out what magazine those two guitars were cut out of.
