Flex Your Head 21: The Blood Brothers - 'Burn, Piano Island, Burn'

About this episode

Jason Schreurs and Donald Kennedy discuss the unconventional album 'Burn, Piano Island, Burn' by The Blood Brothers.

On episode 21 of the Flex Your Head special episodes, host Jason Schreurs welcomes back his friend Donald Kennedy. Together, they try to make sense of The Blood Brothers' 'Burn, Piano Island, Burn'. This truly bizarre album was poised for something big, yet was too unapproachable and downright oddball to be appreciated by "normal" people. Good thing we're not normal because this album is a classic in all its snotty, off-kilter weirdo-ness. https://thebloodbrothersofficial.bandcamp.com/album/burn-piano-island-burn Featured song clips: The Blood Brothers - "Guitarmy" from Burn, Piano Island, Burn (ArtistDirect/BMG, 2003) The Blood Brothers - "USA Nails" from Burn, Piano Island, Burn (ArtistDirect/BMG, 2003) The Locust - "Recyclable Body Fluids In Human Form" from Plague Soundscapes (ANTI- Records, 2003) The Blood Brothers - "Cecilia and the Silhouette Saloon" from Burn, Piano Island, Burn (ArtistDirect/BMG, 2003) Mukilteo Fairies – "Oly Latent Boys" from Closet Check 7" (Outpunk Records, 1994) The Blood Brothers - "Fucking's Greatest Hits" from Burn, Piano Island, Burn (ArtistDirect/BMG, 2003) The Blood Brothers - "Ambulance vs. Ambulance" from Burn, Piano Island, Burn…
