Saltine Crack Whores: "Wild Bikini" (Tullycraft cover)


First String Teenage High cover art

Back in good old 2003 BumbleBEAR Records, in conjunction with AAJ Records, released a twenty song covers compilation titled First String Teenage High. Their subject? Tullycraft! I the title didn't give it away, then the subtitle of the record probably should: "The songs of Tullycraft, played by people who aren't." It's really fun to hear all of Tullycraft's songs played in different styles and different paces, bu these covers are definitely not just novelty. A fair amount of them are actually really great songs in their own right. For example, who knew "Wild Bikini,"one of Tullycraft's fastest, bounciest songs, would sound this beautiful slowed down to an acoustic crawl? Anyone will love this version, even if they hate Tullycraft. But why on earth would you hate Tullycraft? Right?

I found a post describing the band as an anti-folk collective living in Vicksburg, Mississippi. It mentioned that they had released an album back in 2005 called "We're More Awesome Than Any Other Motherfuckers In This Galaxy" - that's all I was able to track down.

Hmmm...I like this song, love Bumblebear and AAJ, and I still hate Tullycraft. Maybe hate is too strong a word, but I am definitely nonplussed by them. Compared to many of their contemporaries and even followers (Masters of the Hemisphere comes to mind) they come off pretty bland. Okay songs, but just blah delivery. Give me Unrest or give me death!

Umm... Tullycraft are a cornerstone in indiepop / twee community. Masters of the Hemisphere aren't even a footnote. I understand they were a fun local band, but their impact was not felt outside of Clarke County, Georgia. Trust me.

First of all, I love Masters of the Hemisphere and I've never been to Athens, GA.

Second of all, the singer in Saltine Crack Whores sounds kinda like the singer in the band Salteen who have a song on the Pop American Style (disc 2) cd.

Everyone has that compilation, right?

Yeah Matt, how can anyone hate Tullycraft ;)

The comment made by "retired and loving it" is pretty amazing. I'm sorry to hear of your loss, but if he was digging the likes of Tullycraft at 67, then he was doing something right!
