Artists discuss the 13 records that shaped their lives

3. CarolinerRear End Hernia Puppetshow

I picked up that Couch record at Schoolkids and then I went back and asked the guy at the counter if there was anything else like it. That guy turned out to be Jeff Walker who was in a band called Gravatar – a noise rock band on Charnel House. He said if you like that, you got to check out the first Caroliner record, and the first Naked City CD. So I bought those both at the same time. And I remember getting home and opening the Caroliner record, which comes in a box with a bunch of garbage in it – I think mine had like a mouldy old magazine that just happened to have the cover ripped off to show an ad for horse dewormer or something. I just could not wrap my head around what it was. There was not much I could relate it to, it was just so bizarre – it had this kind of non-human element to it, a record that seemed actually made by like, mutants or monsters.
