alright, i really dig the first and last songs and then the groovy one in the middle. the rest is pretty retarded. i know that's what they were going for though, so can't fault them for it.

yellow card him

― o -- (eman), Monday, 13 March 2006 19:47 (twenty years ago)

no actually i kinda agree, but "retarded" is overly harsh. there's a couple duds in the bunch though

― o -- (eman), Monday, 13 March 2006 19:49 (twenty years ago)

there are no duds.
it is all the most beautiful expression of human joy available in an audio format.

― Special Agent Gene Krupa (orion), Monday, 13 March 2006 19:49 (twenty years ago)

dude i get wet?

― pssst - badass revolutionary art! (plsmith), Monday, 13 March 2006 20:26 (twenty years ago)

how is this not considered retarded? i ask honestly. they were trying for it. outsider art b.s. "hi we're tripping and making music. i'm pretending i don't know how to play my instrument". i didn't make a judgement call on it. it's an observation.

― team jaxon (jaxon), Monday, 13 March 2006 22:34 (twenty years ago)

it is not retarded because it is beautiful, and everyone knows all retards are repulsive.

― Special Agent Gene Krupa (orion), Monday, 13 March 2006 22:39 (twenty years ago)

amen to that

On the morning of February 18, 2007, at the Odessa Restaurant on the Lower East Side of New York City, the very neighborhood where it all began, Jim McCarthy, Larry Kessler and Paul Thornton met for breakfast and discussed plans for the first new, official Godz recordings in almost 40 years. This meeting came shortly after McCarthy and Kessler had begun the process of cutting the initial tracks for the foundation of this new project.

The first real Godz session since 1968 (excluding Godzundheit at both the band's and my insistence) took place at a recording studio near Larry's home in Baltimore on the first weekend of February 2007 and resulted in a new version of "The Call" (a/k/a the second half of "Crusade" from Godz 2) and a new Larry Kessler composition called "Landing On Women." With some extra studio time left afterward, Jim and Larry spent the remaining minutes cutting a rough demo for the first of what hopefully will be many new collaborative songwriting efforts between them. The new version of "The Call" is especially significant, not only as a new spin on an old Godz favorite, but also as Jim and Larry's way of paying special tribute to the late Jay Dillon. The session itself had additional significance as it marked the first time Jim was back in the studio making new music since his 1973 solo album, Alien.
