The Vandals Polish Turds
08/22/2008
.
(PR) The Vandals have released BBC 1 Sessions and Other Polished Turds, a digital-only collection of rarities from the annals of Vandals history and BBC 1's Lock-Up Sessions with Mike Davis. The album boasts some of the best from those sessions, featuring hilarious renditions of ZZ Top, Sublime, and Queen fare, and a tear jerking piano version of the dead pet lament "Canine Euthanasia." Plus there's exclusive new tracks – "Long Haired Lover" and "You're Not The Boss Of Me (Kick It)" – featuring Emmy-winning comedian Bob Odenkirk (AKA the Bob half of Mr. Show). The rest, mostly cover songs, come from ancient Ramones tributes, lame Alice Cooper tribute albums, and even an awesome Japanese Disney tribute. The cheesiest of the cheesy, however, has to be the Vandals version of "Long Haired Lover From Liver Pool," the song then-9-year-old Jimmy Osmond topped the U.K. pop charts with in 1972. Think of this release as 20 years of people asking for extra songs and the Vandals delivering in their own special way.
