Even when it was new I thought it was completely silly, but fun and <em>rocking<\/em> when little else was. We saw them once, at what Mary and I still call the <em>old<\/em> <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/9:30_Club\">9:30 Club<\/a> (Wikipedia) in D.C. The old one on F Street was a lot smaller, but super fun. I think it moved in the mid-1990s. Anyhow, the show rocked and they seemed to have fun mocking the rockstar thing.<\/p>\n<p>This ain&#8217;t really doing it for me <em>now<\/em>. &#8220;Tattooed Beat Messiah&#8221; was the first full LP, and on major labels in the US and UK. I have both versions. They&#8217;re mostly the same except for some minor typographical differences on the back cover. The UK version also came with a large poster and liner notes. By the time this record came out I think most of the really entertaining songs had already been released in whatever version on EPs and 12 inch singles. And the same ol&#8217; sleazy lyrics&#8211;big riffs and solos&#8211;horn section schtick gets pretty tired over the course of full length album.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Artist: Zodiac Mindwarp and The Love Reaction Title: Tattooed Beat Messiah Year: 1988 Format: Vinyl 12 in.
