In the interests of expediency in continuing on with the Buttsteak '09 recordings, I won't bore you with much in the way of chit-chat. Basically, what you get with this post is, to me anyway, a pretty accurate presentation of the Buttsteak band bringing some rock. Crank up the volume, overdrive your speakers, drink a few beers and make sure to douse yourself with one or two more, turn down the lights, blow in some secondhand smoke and pretend that Hani's M.I.A. and you're pretty much there.
"I'm the Man" is one of the several Joe Jackson tunes we ended up covering-- a real lost classic, a fine example of the Angry Young Brit genre and a perennial favorite for doing impressions of Scotty's singing, dance moves and lyrical interpretations. "You Dirty Rat" is a Scruffy the Cat song classic that for some reason is not one of Charlie Chesterman's faves, but such is the gulf between songwriter and listener.
For your consideration:
