The Jesus Lizard Book

Had a family outing at the Texas State Capital today for the annual Texas Book Festival...and aside from the kid books we picked up for Ash, i also scored a copy of "The Jesus Lizard Book," signed by the man David Yow himself.  He also has a book of cat drawings.  Awesome.  So, while i'm perusing the pages, here's the video for "Nub" off of 1991's "Goat" LP.

David Yow

Jesus Lizard and Scratch Acid front man David Yow has released an album of solo material called "Tonight You Look Like a Spider," and it doesn't sound anything like i would have expected.  Rather than a blast of sweaty, spitting, noisy and experimental punk, this mostly instrumental affair (15 years in the making) stretches its greasy fingers into horror film textures, claustrophobic atmospheres, and experimental and industrial soundscapes.  It's difficult at times, oddly amusing at others, and downright foreboding at others.  Listen to "Thee Itch" below and get the record from Joyful Noise.
