I seriously cannot tell you how much I loved this album when it came out back in the late 80's. These guys were the stuff of Legend, a dorky group of miscreants from behind the Orange Curtain in CA. that played anywhere and everywhere they could, spreading their ridiculously fun ideology to anyone who would give them a listen. I first saw Public Humiliation at some backyard kegger party with the Offspring and was just blown away by how funny the band was and how goofy the songs were they were playing. No genre was off limits, and no place to play live at was ever ignored. I quickly became a fan, seeing them opening up for big bands at the big shows and playing almost empty anarchist benefit gigs to the scorn of everyone in attendance. They were brilliant and I'm so glad I found this cassette in a box of junk in my garage recently. I miss Punk music like this. Standout tracks include My Sony, which I found a video of on YouTube that was posted just days before I wrote this up! Click here to check that shit out! It's crazy! Uhhhmmm, let's see, the other good songs on here are Takin' A Left On Chapman, which, if you've ever driven down Chapman Ave. in Fullerton, is FUNNY!, Pepperoni Pizza, Bar Chord Baby, The Drinking Song, Hawaii 88, Loose And Confused and a few others. The Outro song wasn't labeled on here, as it's just the chorus riff from My Sony with some weird phone answering machine messages sampled into it. This cassette transfer came out pretty good, and I've been listening to this non stop since I converted it to MP3, and I'd love to find out whatever the Hell happened to these guys. Anyways, check this shit out. Public Humiliation. You just might like them. :-)
