Tell me about the Lucky Sperms 7"
 
No info on the discog that I can find. What's the story behind it? It's always just sort of overlooked it seems.

o'connor 07.25.2008 01:25 PM

i have no idea what that is but i am intrigued.

This much I know:

SY + Mike Watt = The Lucky Sperms
a 7" was released on Ecstatic Peace in 1987

Side A "Walking The Cow"
Side B "Tomorrow Never Knows" (featured on one of the mixtapes)
and "Glass Onion" (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

wow glass onion huh. i'd love to hear that. then again SY always seem to do covers more goofy than serious, especially beatles covers.

Forego youtube and view the "Walking the Cow" video here:

The A side, Walking the Cow is just Watt and Steve. The Tomorrow Never Knows/Glass Onion is an interesting cover with the Tomorrow Never Knows music being played with lyrics from Glass Onion being sung over it. If you go to http://www.corndogs.org you can actually download the single.

"interesting" insofar as it makes one wonder why it's so unbearably poor
and why anyone would put it on a record, even if it's a b-side.

Strange, too because "Glass Onion" would mean that TECHNICALLY Ciccone Youth DID record ONE track from THE WHITE ALBUM.

atari 2600 07.26.2008 11:19 PM

Makes me wonder if there's any recordings of them fucking around while The White Album is playing and being played with.
