Mojo Nixon & Skid Roper: Get Out of My Way [Enigma EP, 1986]
Pop anarchobeatnikism has its political attractions--hard to argue when a college band calls for mall-burning even if the moment isn't historically propitious. But if Mojo thinks freedom's just another word for passing me on the shoulder in a traffic jam, let him try it--I'll veer right and proceed at exactly the same speed as our fellow citizen-sufferers, which I know from experience will make their day as much as it'll piss Mojo off. And if Mojo rams me in extended adolescent frustration, I'll sue his ass for the rights to "Stuffin' Martha's Muffin." Always did think those royalties should redound to National Rape Crisis Headquarters.
