I never took the lyrics to be cynical. I feel it's the opposite, really - a lot of it feels like that surge of revelation you get on mushrooms when you suddenly excitedly realize everything is perfect and fine and great. It's super deeply joyous (to me at least). I dig it.Bradnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419022353211460288.post-72361050078170372612016-01-23T01:51:58.434-05:002016-01-23T01:51:58.434-05:00The Williams/Weigand version of Volcano Suns wrote...The Williams/Weigand version of Volcano Suns wrote and played almost all the songs on Bumper Crop. It's a shame they didn't record a third record. The demo versions on the Merge reissues of Curse Of The Name and Magic Sky absolutely destroy the Bumper Crop versions, and I remember them doing great live versions of many others--Testify in particular was always a highlight. All the later lineups of the band did was try to emulate what they had originated-and never came close. Jeff and Jon deserve a lot more credit than they get.

My husband's band played with them, and we had the pleasure of hanging out with the Burma fellows afterward. Super nice guys, one and all. I was most excited to be able to meet Peter Prescott and to thank him for "Bumper Crop." I told him that it was my all-nighter music during college, and really, my favorite Volcano Suns album. He laughed and said, "Well, I guess that makes two of us!"

My knees nearly buckled and my heart definitely fluttered when THE guitar lick kicked in during the tempo change. Now I might know how early fans of The Beatles must have felt. As much as I have enjoyed the CD reissues of The Bright Orange Years and All-Night Lotus Party, and the tempting alternative takes of some Bumper Crop songs on those CDs, my dreams carry me to a land where Bumper Crop, too, has been reissued, and Peter Prescott, Chuck Hahn and Bob Weston are recognized by many more for having created a beautiful, sloppy, funny and immense sounding disc. For years I have enjoyed being just about the only one I know with a fetish for the Volcano Suns, but seeing your original post makes me glad that I am not the only one.
