reminds me of cruising in my friends brand new mitsubishi eclipse (15 years ago maybe--ouch!!), after church and getting our drink on and hunting for chicas. it's amazing how inspiring a baptist preacher can be.
i thinks mental jewelry had a raw feeling to it that none of their other stuff has touched. this album, though, was incredible in it's own way. haven't had any desire to buy anything of theirs after this one.
You all seem to be missing the point. No one is suggesting any actual connection between Frisbees and LPs.
The point of calling a crap LP a 'Frisbee' (and I can remember the term being used here in Australia amongst teenagers in the 70s and early 80s) was to indicate that it was no good for listening to and its only possible use was as a toy to throw around. The term Frisbee was also used for an LP that had got damaged and become unplayable. ' The term was used in a throwaway sense, not as a term for LPs in general. You wouldn't go to a friend's house and say "Got any new Frisbees?" or "Why don't you put a Frisbee on?". It would be used more like: "What's this like?" (indicating new LP) "Oh, it's a bit of a Frisbee, really" Or even more likely: "Uh-oh, it's a Frisbee now" (after dragging stylus across record while drunk).
but frisbees are for kids and monkeys. i am utterly confused. and why anyone would equate an lp with a frisbee, the letters in their names aren't even close to being similar.
saw his show in dallas 3 or 4 yrs ago at the palladium and it was great. ran into him after the show on our way to the car (on his way to trailer) and he was friendly enough to chat for a minute and take a photo with wifey.
