Jad Fair & Kramer - Roll Out the Barrel (1988)

Bravo man. A stone cold classic. This (and other Shimmy stuff) coaxed me out of my hardcore ghetto where everything had to be fast, fast, fast. California is still one of my fave songs...and I don't really like songs these days. Load & mount was real trippy too. Joe
