Ted botches the lyrics while J.J.Jammer puts in an amazing series of psychedelic solos in this "Dream Beguine" tour de force. Features news soundbytes from the Voyager flyby of Uranus in January 1986.
"I have to tell you again how absolutely f*cking in awe I am when you do stuff like [Voyage to Uranus]. The speeded up Bob Ryan and others plus all the whacked out drug stuff (if only) just make the song that much more awesome." -- Keith Richmond
"It is like a barber's chair, that fits all buttocks---the pin buttock, the quatch buttock, the brawn buttock, or any buttock." -- Shakespeare
"Arcadio suffered from shoes that were too large, from his patched pants, from his female buttocks." -- Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Many people laughed at his dialect and the way he used words strangely. Instead of saying "myself" he always said "my buttocks." [...] "Your buttocks understand our language," said someone light-heartedly and the crowd laughed. -- Chinua Achebe
"Your buttocks said [god] had a son," said the joker. "So he must have a wife and all of them must have buttocks." -- Chinua Achebe
"Gorbachev sings tractors: Turnip! Buttocks!" - Milo Bloom
"Sexualization of the buttocks has occurred throughout history, especially of the female buttocks." -- The Cultural History of the Buttocks (Wikipedia)

Recorded: 12/22/83
Released: 12/83
Format: Random; Seemingly Dolby B, but the hiss and the "music" are virtually indistinguishable
Songs: Tribute to Gang Green, Stairway to Heaven, Ode to Penalologists, Tribute to the CCCB, Foxey Lady, Purple Anus, Dazed Anus, (Side 2), Undressed Man, Tribute to WGAY, Whole Lotta Love.
For this recording, Ted used his patented "way too much dynamic range compression" technique. Anytime the band is silent, the noise rushes up to be louder than the band. It's like listening to the ocean crashing on the shore.

Recorded: 7/5/84
Released: 7/84
Re-Released: 11/84
Format: First release was a 12 record set, and the public disliked the cost, so Ted reduced it to fit on one LP, and re-released

Listening notes: This was the Buttocks' first live outdoor concert and there was nothing protecting us from exposure to the sun. Considering that the show lasted over 9 hours, it was really quite grueling. Having red hair, JJ was particularly sensitive to the sun. See if you can hear the moment when JJ's skin ignites.

Listening notes: Bryan [Frizzbrain], who was an accomplished jazz and session drummer, would express his disappointment with what was going on during the session by shifting into unprovoked, violent drum solos. See if you can hear his dissatisfaction come to a head during Stairway.

In recent weeks, Salaman and other young women who sell hot dogs along Pinellas County roadways have found themselves fighting to keep their businesses alive — and their clothes off.
Salaman and the others wear thong bathing suits that expose most of their backsides to traffic. It's a great way to attract customers, but recently Pinellas County Sheriff Everett S. Rice decided that it also violates laws against peddling food along public roadways with exposed buttocks.
