More Superelvis

CAN IT EVEN BE? MORE SUPERELVIS!

This. I think they stole the Beatles and drove them off a cliff while forcing them to listen to Can on cassette in some sort of car made from the bones of Alan Ginsberg. What they've done here, in fact what they seem to have done in all the recordings I've posted, is take lyrics from other artists and sing them over top of their own improvised music. Side A of this record is called Lucy and is pretty interesting, but it'd be better if there were some original lyrics instead. the second side of the record, Love Songs has some nice stuff, but again the lyrics are from other artists. The last track, featuring the words of Leonard Cohen, is a nice bit of guitar and harmonica play. No wave blues.
