hickey Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 http://www.douchemasterrecords.blogspot.com/ Wednesday, February 25, 2009 GG King and Happy Burger 7"s Happy Burger - Pizza All Around 7" In spite of living in the heart of the culinary universe, our French friends known as Happy Burger have found none other than pizza and burgers as their songwriting muses. The argument is as fundamental as chicken vs. the egg, but in the eyes and mouths of these Frenchies, the cheeseburger loses a nail biter to the pizza. Four songs. Simple and short with mandatory French garage production. Jonathan Richman would be proud. Jacques Pepin would be horribly disappointed. Us at D~M~R are just par for the course. First 100 on red. GG King - Adult Rock 7" If the brow raising title of this record has you concerned that Greg Carbona and D~M~R have lost their collective minds and released a rap record, rest assured that this is not the case. It may also be confusing that this is not a Carbonas record since Greg, Jesse, and Chris play on the record, Dave mastered it, and Clay's fictional (for now) biography is pictured on the jacket. You should believe with perfect certainty, however, that the songwriting on GG King's debut single doesn't stray far from the stylistics employed by his previous outfit for the most part of the last decade. This one has two songs that are so brief and unforgettable that most of us will be pissed we didn't write them ourselves. We hope this will be the first of many from Mr. GG King. 100 on blue vinyl.

hickey Posted February 26, 2009 Author Share Posted February 26, 2009 Douchemaster is one of the few labels I will buy records from without hearing a band first. Their releases are incredibly consistent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hickey Posted March 7, 2009 Author Share Posted March 7, 2009 I just spun this GG King 7"...if anyone is on the fence about it, it's one of the best 7"s I've heard in a long time...if you're at all a fan of anything Douchemaster has put out, this is essential.

timpopkid Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 GG King is great. Happy Burger is kind of stupid. There's only so many of these lo fi joke garage bands I can take... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timpopkid Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Sometimes music that's not serious 100% of the time is fun... You do realize your saying this to a guy that owns every weird al record (though sadly not all on vinyl)... Anyway, I just don't see the difference between Happy Burger and the dozens of other bands like them who have been popping up all over the place lately. It was fun at first, but i'm over it.
