Oh man, is this ever over due. One of the first albums in the Hershey Squirt Records line up (our fake highschool label), Josh Rhodes’ (Bobo McMorons’) brilliant debut “Tales from the Baby Grinder” clenches more than just your teeth. These songs made me cringe whenever Josh would play them in the “ButterFly Lounge” (the unfinished addition on the side of my house where we would have shows) because he was usually scantily clad, screaming about the pleasures of necrophilia, in a place my parents could easily overhear.
This album, recorded in landon’s bedroom, is where it all started. If you thought the Old Testament was full of sexual harassment and fire and brimstone, you’ve ain’t seen nothing yet! My favorite line is “All you riot grrls should learn how to spell … ” (Josh is reall an ardent feminist, I swear!).

It’s true, I’m both a thunderously weird person and an ardent feminist. For example, I waited almost four years to post anything on hear, and I, uh…. respect women. yeah.
