{"product_id":"buddyhead-suicide","title":"Buddyhead Suicide","description":"Buddyhead's been releasing records for a few years now, mostly from noisy wackos like Icarus Line and Shat. In between the rigorous 7\" folding and stuffing sessions described in Buddyhead Suicide's entertaining liners, the Buddyhead dudes -- Travis Keller and Aaron North -- found time to post scads of pointed, mean-spirited, and totally hilarious gossip on their website. The load of rare material on this two-disc comp nicely encapsulates the outfit's first few years of music. But fans of Keller and North's acerbic humor will likely get a bigger kick out of the set's numerous \"Torture Device\" tracks. Essentially crank calls, the cuts find the Buddyheaders impersonating everyone from Matt Pinfield to the publicist for Ben \u0026amp; Jerry's as they antagonize -- read: f*ck with -- music industry types. Karen O gets the treatment, Hoobastank is violated, and the manager of an up-and-coming punk band is ensnared in an elaborate ruse concerning the Sex Pistols that's as painfully funny as anything on Curb Your Enthusiasm. (The liners include a notice of legal action stemming from this particular gag.) Buddyhead Suicide doesn't pull any punches musically, either. Disc one includes a single version of the classic Text avant-garde statement \"Sound Is Compressed; Words Rebel and Hiss,\" a bizarre horror-hop remix of Murder City Devils' \"Press Gang,\" and a surprisingly straight reading of Billy Idol's \"Rebel Yell\" from Dillinger Escape Plan. The second disc lurches out of the gate with Your Enemies Friends' gutsy and buzzing punk\/new wave revisionism, slices through Burning Brides' sludgy \"Plank of Fire,\" and lands on its good ankle with another crazy inventive remix, this time of At the Drive-In's \"Rascuache.\" Buddyhead demands diligence in both humor and rock, which makes Suicide difficult for the uninitiated. Conversely, the willing will find it a satisfying and side-splittingly funny experience. ~ Johnny Loftus","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47673683214623,"sku":"763361981028","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/45aaeb5eb9d823fe90ab3593b5abc717_61701ff0-da9e-4c7c-b940-e684e313bad7.jpg?v=1777926432","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/buddyhead-suicide","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
