Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine - Let's Get Tattoos (CDS)


More Carter, I know. One of the few (maybe only?) bands I think I like more now than I did back in the '90s. There's something about the passion that Jim Bob puts into everything, as well as having some of the great choruses. And I'll tell you what, this single has an absolutely killer chorus, no doubt about it. You probably already know that.

The b-sides of this single are good too, the first one does that proper Carter thing of going 'quiet... quiet... quiet... BOOM! DRUM MACHINE!'. And if you don't like that, well, you shouldn't really be here, should you? Go home and take a long look at yourself, your motivation, and your record collection. Come back when you've grown your fringe long.

Second b-side is a cover of a track by These Animal Men, in true 1990s covering-each-other style. Third b-side is a cover of a David Essex track. Really. So limited is my knowledge of most music I don't think I know it, but I'm sure all of you do, and I hope you like it.

    I hope yours still had the free temporary tattoos inside.

    And that you're wearing them right now.

    Some of us are old enough to actually remember Silver Dream Machine first time around. :-(

    I still have the tattoos but never wore them (hence why I still have them...)

    Mat, if I had them I'd have made Isobel wear them. A while back I found the "geek rock" tattoo still inside a Urusei Yatsura LP and she wore that to pre-school.

    Robster, I expect to see a photo of your adorned arm.
