Plastic People of the Universe- Hovezi Porazka (beef slaughter)
It's too bad more people didn't turn out for the Plastic People's set at Black Swamp... There's usually not much of a chance to hear gloomy dissonant skronk/druggy sludge rock in downtown BG on Sunday mornings. But it was a pretty mind melting weekend nonetheless, between meeting Vratislav and Jiri smoking cigarettes on the curb outside Easy Street, them singing about all the drugs they've done, and Vratislav getting so drunk behind the main stage Saturday night that he fell on some children. I don't think we'll see the likes of them in town again. This is one of their albums from the 80s which is a romantic tale of slaughtering and eating a cow in one day. You can read the incredible History of the Plastics here, and I'll leave you with the words to Kanarek.
Kanarek (Little Canary)
The canary died
or maybe he croaked
someone snuffed him
or scooped him up
The canary knew
some beautiful songs
old songs, older still
than old gothic
Hey, dead canary
sing those songs again
so my buddies at least
will know the words
-Petr Lampl
