 LES
HATEPINKS- Tete Malade/Sick in the Head (TKO
Records) These motherfuquers are the coolest Frenchmen I’ve come
across since meeting long-lost pal Bruno, who sings for punk mambo kings
Babaloo and is rumored to have once killed a man. Tete
Malade/Sick in the Head is the kind of disc that makes me happy I
write these stupid reviews. Seven snotty, dirty-groovin’, ripping,
hilarious tracks that clock in at a whisper over nine minutes just can’t
be beat. “Sexual Liberation is for Animals” is vicious, tears along
beautifully, sharpens my French counting skills and is probably my new
favorite song. The album’s title track is just about as good. I also
love “Sweep the Shit,” which is manic and a helluva lotta fun. And
maybe it’s just something that gets lost in translation, but I’m not
quite sure what the line “Sweep the shit out your face” actually
means, yet I can’t stop saying it. And even the songs that are merely
good instead of awesome- “Should I Kill Myself or Go Jogging” and
“Your Ass is a Stereotype,” for example- are still funny as all get
out. I know it’s only January, BUT this is definitely the best thing
I’ve heard in 2007. –Ben Hunter
