The Mollesters – Plastic // I Am (Plurex Records) 1978. I thought about this crazy fucking single last week when I posted the Tits. What is it about Dutch punk? It is so sublimely retarded. Both of these tracks are basically one riff repeated ad nauseum with these totally snide vocals over the top. Oh wait, I Am has a bridge. Amazing. This stuff is genius. Look at the guys on the cover! Click the image and you can see it better. What a bunch of social reprobates. Aren’t they exactly what you would imagine a band that sounds like this would look like? Same with the Tits record. Fuck it. I work for a Dutch company in real life. Fer serialz, yo. When are they gonna move me over there? I want out of this US shit-hole. I wanna move to Holland and be covered in plastic!!!!
