Today marks the final day of another 2 week self-isolation, and as such this will be the last post on this page until the next self-isolation / lockdown, and comes courtesy of Brighton's Anal Beard.
And let's get this out of the way... Anal Beard weren't exactly very good. I mean, objectively, by most measures, they were pretty terrible. But they were also persistent, seemed to have a lot of fun doing what they did, and so ended up with a bit of a cult following. And in all fairness, there is something almost charming about their goofy, puerile humour and poorly recorded, simplistic brand of comedy punk.
Here is their entire discography, originally released as a 3 CD set, now available as a single 105-song download. Are you gonna listen to this in a single sitting? Doubtful. But might you dip into it from time to time? Umm... maybe?
I'm actually the owner of 2 Anal Beard CDs, their album "Din Noir", and an earlier compilation "We, the Dreg"... but I'm not entirely certain why, beyond the fact both were released on Boss Tuneage Records and I think I saw them discounted and thought "Why not?"
I've definitely posted better records here, but you know what? I still would've liked to have seen them live. Plus, I quite like "Eight of Spades". And maybe even "We (Anal Beard) Are On Daytime Telly".
So, embrace the silliness, and dive right in!
Oh, and if you're still in lockdown where you are, good luck and best wishes, and stay safe everyone 💕
