>Matador Records forced them to remove Negro Observer from the reissuelol lmao even
Will Goner/Crypt do the same if Soul Food were to be reissued?https://youtu.be/YULfLy5G1ec
>>122557409Makes me glad I have the original Touch and Go issue.
>>122557409DAS RITE
so stupid, that's the best song on the album
>>122557409good call I almost bought it
>>122557409that's completely retarded, why even bother re-releasing something if you're going to mutilate it like that?
a larvee is also black .
>>122557409I’m just wondering what’s the logic. BHS is just all about weirdness, I’ve listened to that song hundreds of times and never got racist vibes from it, or the band. Do people at matador really think just because it has the word negro in it people are automatically just become racist by reading it or hearing it in a song? It’s such strange puritanical behavior
Le Jon was Born in Dead Rising Grass Rising is out now
That's a damn shame. Also I always preferred the demo version to the studio. Fun little riff to play.https://youtu.be/UDZvH5q6QAs?si=TJdg6uSKsbbsSDjP
>>122557409It's to protect the millions of African-American Butthole Surfers fans
gaaaaaayone of my favorite songs of theirs as well
>>122557409Matador has been a cancer on music for a long time. If overrated bullshit came out in the 90s you knew it was on Matador. Even the good bands they had like Superchunk and Unsane didn't release anything good until after they left Matador. It was uncanny.
>>122564151the band is also guilty
>>122562043Even if it were 'racist,' it would still be artistic expression. People don't fly into a moral panic when the Cannibal Corpse singer pretends to be a psychopathic murderer in his lyrics, which is obviously a lot worse than portraying a racist. I think Gen-X'ers and Millennials are just kind of stupid. I don't see younger Zoomers doing this shit.
>>122566924>which is obviously a lot worse than portraying a racist.Is it?
>>122566947Would you rather be skinned alive, raped, and then burned, or would you rather have someone be 'racist' toward you?
>>122566947you've been brainwashed
>>122567002congratulations on being retarded
its ironic the song describes wealthy ignorant gangster rap blaring negro types looking down on regular ass people like the butthole surfers at the time cus they didnt have the freshest kicks or whatever or a fancy low rider car . it ain't racist but the people it's about certainly are
they took it off of spotify too
>>122557409Thankfully, I bought an overpriced copy of the older Latino Buggerveil reissue about 6 months before the Matador release.It broke the bank at the time, but now (for obvious reasons) I no longer have the slightest regret.Of all the bands, Butthole Surfers are exactly the last group I could ever have imagined would cuck to woke political correctness.A shame, really.https://youtu.be/qE6PlSyQ5ag?si=3FPR0HZtHQhkRYIL
nothing that exists in reality should be off limits from an artistic standpoint and i don't need virtue signaling record companies telling me what i can and cant listen to.
That's how six million jews died. Do. Better.
>>122564151>Matador has been a cancer on music for a long time.Elaborate?
