S7E340 - Butthole Surfers 'Psychic... Powerless... Another Man's Sac' with Barry Stock
1984 had its share of sonically expansive punk releases, but few were as viscerally bizarre and dizzyingly unpredictable as Butthole Surfers' full-length debut, 'Psychic... Powerless... Another Man's Sac'. Former TRGMH co-host Barry Stock joins Rob as they unpack this at-times-menacing, at-times-hilarious classic.
