OCZY MLODY, MY ASS

 
More like whatever the Polish translation is for MIDDLE AGED-GUY STILL LOCKED IN MID-LIFE CRISIS AND RELYING MORE AND MORE HEAVILY ON DRUGS AS THE INSPIRATION DIES.

It's got moments, but it's also got more than a few moments where it feels like it's never going to fucking end.......

The Lips were on a hot streak with EMBRYONIC, THE TERROR and PEACE SWORD.  HEADY FWENDS  was pretty good, the distillation of the 24 hour song had its moments, the gummi stuff was more hype than music, SGT PEPPER sucked ass, and so on and so on.

I actually thought we were heading for the whole mid-life crisis thing when I saw the videos for the EMBRYONIC tunes, and all of a sudden Coyne was obsessed with naked chicks 20-25 years younger than him and none of the videos really had to shit to do with shit.  Who could've foreseen that it would all end up w/ him and Miley becoming BFFs?

But you know when it really all really started falling apart?  When they lost Jonathan Donahue, and then Ronald Jones, and then decided confetti cannons and fake blood were good enough replacements.
