playing catch-up again

This song is SO DAMN GOOD.

Wait, let me back up a little bit: For ages I've known Severed Heads almost entirely through the singles "Dead Eyes Opened" and "We Have Come to Bless the House," never really bothering with the albums (of course, their tendency to go in and out of print didn't exactly help in that respect). When the wonderful LTM Recordings started in on their back catalog with a greatest-hits collection called ComMerz (yay, someone else digs the Schwitters) and the LP Rotund for Success, allegedly their most "pop" album, I finally got around to taking a look, and well, this song is SO GODDAMN GOOD. I'm way behind the curve here, and it may be old news to some of you, but if you don't know it I urge you to download it and give it a spin:


Severed Heads, "Big Car"


Edit also S. Tellier lost to Russia how bullshit is that
