Another song from the 1997 album “Stolen Shoes” that screams for my revisiting. Although it’s just me singing with the guitar on this track, it’s catchy as hell, even with my pitch problems.

One of the few new songs off the 2011 “Something New” EP, this was pretty much just goofing around and seeing what happens. Nothing profound here, merely some random riddims.
The title track from our 2006 album shows the band dipping its toes into the R&B and soul genre. I’d like to record this again with the newer equipment, as this is very primitive. It kind of sounds like karaoke, but you get the idea of what we were trying to accomplish. Besides, I sure ain’t tryin’ to pleez.
From the 1998 album “Pornucopia” comes one of the first political songs in the Jackass Penguins catalog. The lyrics to this are half-satire, and half-real, reflecting the general emotions of the period in the wake of the twin bombings in Kenya and Tanzania. The refrain of “Osama is a fuckin’ beast” would prove to be an understatement in the years following this release.
This was the logo I came up with in 1994 for Jackass Penguins. Unfortunately, it was already created by Spielberg & Co. for the 1993 movie Jurassic Park. Not sure if it was a subliminal thing or what. Any way you look at it, my memory of the 90’s is slowly fading away.
From the 2010 EP “Furlough Jam” comes this cover of Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg with a reggae twist. Recorded on a whim during the dog days of the Great Recession, when I had plenty of time and not enough money. A little over a year after this (and an alternate cut called “Dub Thang”) came out, Snoop Dogg becomes Snoop Lion and enthusiastically records reggae music. Coincidence? Most likely. But it’s nice to imagine that somehow Mr. Snoop Dogg was inspired by this cut.
