Hallelujah! Holy shit! The Butthole Surfers are set to release their long shelved 1998 album "After the Astronaut." Originally intended to be the follow up to "Electric Larryland," the record was rejected by the band's major label and eventually morphed into the admittedly pretty shitty 2001 release "Weird Revolution." This is the record it was always meant to be, a bunch of weirdos experimenting with new electronic toys to make their version of radio pop. Check out the video for "Jet Fighter" below and be on the lookout of the album in all forms from Sunset Blvd Records.
I cobbled a version of this together on Napster back in the day. Still have the burned CD of it (somewhere, I think). Can't wait to see how close it was. Definitely had this song on it (not sure what made it onto that Weird Revolution record. I listened to it once but the it was definitely inferior. Thanks for posting this - waaaaay off my radar.
