This started out as a post about a couple new surf inspired songs. I was going to write about the new Bombon tape and Surf City's upcoming album, but for some reason my mind wondered and this turned into something else. By no means a definitive list of surfing songs. One or two have a tenuous claim to be called surfing songs, but in my stream of conscious they all shoot the curl. The song Vic by Animals that Swim is about going to see Vic Chestnut , getting drunk and yelling out Surfin' USA [...]
I was going to do a list of my favorite records of the 00's, but as I was getting my list together I started to realize it was kind of boring. Really, how many music blogs do you need to tell you the same thing? That's when I began thinking about the records that came out over last 10 years that I thought were criminally ignored, or just didn't seem to get a fair shake. So what I've got for you is a list of my most underrated albums of the decade. Every one of these records [...]
The title and cover from this 1993 compilation on London's Frog Records pay homage to this Big Black album . Appropriately enough for a Friday the 13th, it contains 13 songs by Animals That Swim, Frantic Spiders, Spokepoker, Boyracer, Hula Hoop, Scissormen, Shiva Affect, Bleed, Johanna's House of Glamour, Bush Pilot, Wand, Thumper, and Helen Love. Far as I know there wasn't a Vol 2...though I would be happily wrong. Sample mp3: Animals That Swim - Roy Full download: http://www.zshare.net/download /13547361d94c6f9f/
Back from Their Distant Star: An Interview with Animals that Swim
I discovered Animals That Swim after reading the 1994 year end issue of the NME where they ranked their top 50 albums of the year. Their debut album Workshy came in at a cool number 15. I don't remember what was written about the album but it was enough for me to put it on a list of must get records. I was going to school in Albany, NY at the time and on my next trip down to New York I found the record at Kims Underground as well as the Pink Carnations [...]

Animals That Swim - Pink Carnations
Way back in late 2005, on my 11th post as mp3hugger I featured this song from London band Animals That Swim. And here almost 2 years later I return to its majesty, it is one of the few songs that I've studied for its lyrical ingenuity. Not that it'll change the way you think but it's hard not to marvel at Hank Starrs fluid and seething/hilarious commentary on a disturbing event that he found
