...fanzine/so fuck the music scene!" do not sound bitter so much as they sound healthy, and Yatsura is certainly more concerned with making good music than with their indie cred. The lyrics on Slain by Yatsura are generally of a more pleasant variety anyway. "1, 2, 3, 4, Glo Starz! Glo Starz! Glo Starz! Glo Starz!" It is a very loveable album...
...rare look at the filming of two sure-to-be-classic episodes: "Don't Pull That Lever, Dipsy" and "Laa-Laa Has an Orange Ball." As Tubby body parts roll by in wheelbarrows and crew members carefully place live rabbits and racks of fake flowers on the Day-Glo green Home Hill, Davenport cautions, "There's a lot of intervention that happens before it reaches the screen.
