"Recent" Surfers: "Old" Surfers:

I was assaulted...sexually, and ever since then, I cannot sleep.  I've been having trouble sleeping. Well, they told me, when I have these bad dreams, to try and put
endings on the dreams, like I come out a winner.  But everytime i try to do that, I just...don't get anywhere.  It seems, I keep having the same dream over and over every night, and that's why I'm up so late.

I always thought this song was called Sweet Loaf, but apparently it is called Sweat Loaf. I'm still not completely sure, as there seems to be an equal number of pages on google for either title. Regarding matters where there is no dispute, the users at last.fm have tagged the song thusly:

Hi. I'm new here. I'm originally from the USA, now residing in the UK. I'm a happily-married 39-year-old kid who enjoys most types of music. I stopped smoking three days ago and joined you Moggers shortly after that. Coincidence? Is Mogging destined to take the place of my recently banished nicotine habit? We'll see. I've done a couple of posts so far that have generated no interest whatsoever. HA! Maybe because I hadn't introduced myself? Maybe because my tas... MORE

Years ago af riend of mine gave me a mixtape filled with the Ventures, Dick and Dale, and this one incredible song by the Butthole Surfers called "John E. Smoke" from their album Hairway to Steven. Is there anything by this band that sounds remotely like this song? Is this the only surf rock performed by the Butthole Surfers?

Years ago, I used to be really into the Butthole Surfers. Not so much any more, though I still listen to their older stuff every now and then. I was a bit of a late joiner to the party, following the Ministry connection over from Gibby doing vocals on "Jesus Built My Hotrod", and never got to see them live or anything. By the time they got popular with "Pepper" my obsession had already run its course, and that whole album pretty much sucked. But I remember hearing tal... MORE

The song "Weber" may only be :35 in length, but what a creative piece it is. You should check it out. It's a trip.

I’m waiting for my songs to get put onto my profile; I have no idea how to do it so I’ll just write a random post.I joined today and got a start on this.I love the butthole surfers I went out to Texas to see them on my own in 2001 and 2002 which made the few weeks I spent there the best holidays ever (Besides when I went to Las Vegas to get married this year, obviously that surpasses the Buttholes, but… only just!)I am married and I have two mini dachshunds who I love to b...

I had the strangest feeling come over me this morning, in a good way. As I went through my list of emails, and mog posts, I couldn't help but feel like I was Edward Norton in the movie fight club. No I did not want to kick anyone’s ass, nor did I feel as if Tyler Durden was telling me what to do. As I was visiting other mogger's sites I began to think, what are they doing here. They, meaning other moggers I know, on posts that I had not seen them before. In no way did I fe... MORE

I just threw on my out-of-print vinyl copy of the Butthole Surfers Live PCPEP EP. It's one of those I just don't get around to listening to very often, and when I do it tends to serve more as background music, inspite of it's in-your-face absurdities. But I was really feelin' it this time around. So, I was listening attentively even as the 2nd side spun off and out. But then I noticed, it didn't spin off OR out. Instead, it began making that brief, yet redundant, scratchy ... MORE
