( Released 1998 )
Star Ball Contribution is a dead of summer, windows open in the middle of the night, empty two-liters of Big Red sort of an album. Everybody barefoot, no one paying much attention to this or that. This is the result of throwing two art school kids in a room with an auto mechanic and a host at Applebee’s. Sort of by-the-books Meadornack 4-track era deal going on here. Topical tunes, pranks played on pizza delivery guys, a circuit bent (sort of?) toy calculator called Major Morgan. Maybe they tried a bit too hard to bring the funny with this one, but don’t let it get in the way of classic depravity like “Normal.” Take a dip, then maybe try something different. Sorry!
“Normal:”
