Orange County Rhyming Dictionary

I finally bought a USB turntable and now I feel ashamed about all the vinyl I previously digitized on Krucoff.com. I knew my old set-up lacked the proper amplifier but I figured the sacrifice in sound quality wasn't a big deal given the less-than-chaste original material. (Punk aesthetic, man. Rub those records with peanut butter and nails if you have to.) But damn, now that I've compared two copies, it's like the difference between an MRR-ordained classic and a Weird Al cover version.

I'll work on reparations later, but for now here's one I haven't offered before. It hasn't aged as well as I thought it would, but the 2nd side of D.I.'s "What Good is Grief to a God" has a few decent stompers, even without the Agnew brothers. The bad horror flick theme of "The Puppet" compels me to label this Chucky-core but the galloping rhythm section makes it a late night suburban cemetery party favorite.
