This record, Big Problem Does Not Equal The Solution.  The Solution = Let It Be, came out in 1989 and is fucking WEIRD.

Initially I only liked it for the sweet, amazing, fantastic cover of These Boots Are Made For Walking, a must have for all fans of cover songs. It’s really, quite fucking bizarre.

Crispin Glover, you might know him as George McFly, I prefer to think of him as Cousin Dell from Wild At Heart. The man is totally weird and great. Perhaps you’ve seen Willard or River’s Edge. Regardless of what you think of him as an actor, this record can either confirm your sinking suspicions that he’s a psycho, or reinforce your opinion that he’s a complete genius.

Either way, it’s a fun ride. The track “Auto-Manipulator” sounds like a track from Dee Dee Ramone’s rap record. “I’m an auto-manipulator. I play with myself, I’m a masturbator.” It’s awesome. Maybe my new favorite. I was really into “Clowny Clown Clown” for a while, but I think I’ve grown to appreciate “Auto-Manipulator” after recent listenings.

The record is half song, half surreal readings. Not exactly something you’ll find yourself yearning for every day, but it’s chock full of gems and definitely worth a few listens.

Enjoy.
