Dregs
Off the Record

(1988)

Christ, I've never seen anything like this CD single: it literally sucks and fails in every possible aspect. First off, it's not even a real release, it's just a bullshit fraud to pimp Ensoniq EPS and SQ-80 synthesizers (I assume this will mean something to you if you're a member of Sigue Sigue Sputnik or something). Second, it's by the Dregs. Seriously, look at these guys:

We've got a tool still living the 1970s dream ten years later; a guy so bald he looks like an ad for something to prevent you from ever becoming as bald as him; a relatively normal rocker-looking dude who wouldn't be any douchier than, say, any given member of Foreigner if it wasn't for his awful yellow, baby blue, and pink-striped shirt; and, finally, the Down's Syndrome Kid. And the name of their song? "Leprechaun Promenade". You'd have to wake up on Brokeback Mountain with a unicorn's cock up your ass to be gayer than that. The crappiness doesn't stop there though. Check out the goofy case:

See, there's this little lever, so when you open it, the CD automatically pops out. Then falls on the floor. Nice job, you stupid assholes. Even worse, the actual CD is one of those fucking 3" ones that they made for about two months back when CDs first came out, which means you can't play it in an upright CD player, and if you stick it into the one in your car you have no choice but to listen to "Leprechaun Promenade" for the rest of your life because you can't get it back out. And between talking about the Dregs like we're actually supposed to know who they are and detailing all the trials and tribulations they went through to get the band back together (they made some phone calls, somebody had to ask for a day off work), even the booklet is annoying. If you actually decide to listen to this thing (not recommended), it ends with an "interview" that's really just the Dregs trying to sell you a synthesizer. And would you believe that they actually have the sack to say that they're "extremely proud" of this CD? Fuck you, Dregs, you miserable sellout hacks. You and "Ensoniq" can shove yourselves right up each other's asses.
