In Lieu of going back to my roots for it is the raining mating season, what? Who's there? Long story short: this band changed my life back in high school. The cover of their first album even influenced the way I paint. I don't think they're talked about enough for how insane what they were doing was in the early 80s; alongside Black Flag and the peers playing schizophrenic jazzfunk and shouting beatnik poetry, but never letting it linger more then a few measures. Just enough for it to be catchy. And yes, the Jackass theme was a song of theirs.
There's a documentary I really want to see about them. Trailer!
Someone posted their first album on the youtubes if one were so inclined: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N62UjBLo63g
