Here it is, the grand finale of Chanukah week, but for better or worse, the emphasis on this post is more on words than music (but there's some of that too). The topic of my last
Redd Kross entry (
demos for
Third Eye) was "compromised" so to speak by the powers that be, so you probably don't want to sleep on these.
Dinner With Redd Kross was a promotional record issued in conjunction with the band's excellent 1987 platter,
Neurotica. The interrogation took place at WBCN in Boston and was conducted by
Albert O. As you might guess, the usual band backstory questions were fielded to the McDonald Bros, but the responses are peppered with plenty of embellishment and "insider" celebrity secrets. Entertaining for sure, but be forewarned, there are oodles of pops and snaps that I didn't have an adequate amount of time to edit, at least not completely. The interview disk was also paired with another record featuring a remix of "Play My Song." Speaking of tunes, are there any intermingled with the interview? I dunno. Can't never tell. On second thought, maybe you can by investigating below. BTW, if you don't have
Neurotica, it was reissued/remastered in 2002 with two bonus tracks, and you can get it from
Amazon and
iTunes.
And as a bonus gift, in a separate download link you can check out Redd Kross' long out of print
Switchblade Sister ep, which dropped in 1993, the same year as their
Phaseshifter album.
