Sugarfixin' to Die


What do you do after Blood, Guts and Pussy? Stop? Go acoustic? Become porn kings? Well, the Dwarves made another near masterpiece in Thank Heaven for Little Girls, and then the stinkbomb they called Sugarfix. Maybe that's a little harsh, but we're several years past caring here, and danger's edges are polished smooth. This isn't offensively bad, but it's boring, which the Dwarves never were up until here. I'd rather listen to a Blag interview picture disc on the great roadside attractions of the northwest. My exulted position in the community prevents me from commenting on the cover, so breathe that sigh of relief, granddad. I still have a special place in my gut for these guys, and I wish the blind grab had brought up Toolin' for a Warm Teabag instead. Alas, chance led us here, so to the sell pile with ya.

This is a heroic effort on your part. I believe record reviews are the highest form of literature. Your reflections on Fleetwood Mac one day followed by the Dwarves demonstrates your versatility as a writer as well as your scattered music tastes. I mean can you imagine Lindsey Buckingham meeting Blag? Wow.
