HomeMusicReview: Gunfighter/Traindodge Gunfighter/Traindodge “Split CD” (Ascetic Records)Since both artists contributed only two songs, I’m just going to do a stream of consciousness thing here-sort of like that one part in Flaubert’s “Madam Bovary” with the carriage ride through the city. Here goes… Track#1-Quick; fast; a line from that “I’m on a Mexican radio” song, more distortion and more minor chords… Track#2-Spacey guitar riff similar to Smashing Pumpkin’s ‘Quiet’ off of “Siamese Dream”; soft lullaby vocals; ham sandwiches; Yahtzee; oh-now fast and loud-lots of Smashing Pumpkins influences; Steven King’s “Gunslinger” series; name of the track is ‘Run Angel Run’-reminds me of “Run Lola Run”… Track#3-Foo Fighters? Oh, now they sound like an even crappier Red Hot Chili Peppers; losing interest, still losing interest; heavy bass lines; my roommate eating all of the homemade strawberry jam my grandma sent me; is this song still going?… Track#4-Good Lord, this is the worst review I’ve ever written; is it really my fault though? I mean, I can only work with the material I’m given; I feel like The Joker’s plastic surgeon when he apologetically points to his bloody, rusted knives and says, ‘You see what I have to work with here…’ What say we pretend this little review never happened? That would be great for me because then I could pretend I never had to waste twenty minutes of my life listening to this heinous piece of garbage.
