about
Recorded the weekend of August 31st, 1996 at Channel One Studio on Clifton Road, Atlanta by Jimmy Ether. Music tracked live to DAT. Originally the music was dubbed down to cassette 4-track and the vocals overdubbed (mostly live at once) to the remaining two tracks. For this reissue, the cassette vocal tracks were re-synced to the original music master, remixed and remastered. Reissue work done by Jimmy Ether September/October of 2010 at Headphone Treats.
In 1996, The Big Ragoo was formed as a side project by three members of the Atlanta post-punk band Monkey Boy. Jimmy Ether, Ken Whitener and Shawn Christopher -- all prolific songwriters -- would rotate instruments with the principal songwriter playing guitar. Lyrics were written communally based on what each member thought the others were singing, resulting in both interesting motifs and complete absurdity. Musically, the trio pulled heavily from the influence of Trumans Water, fIREHOSE, Soul-Junk, Sebadoh and Archers of Loaf.
14 years later... maybe... just maybe... they're reform to yet again bring the rock. Your purchase of this record will help make that happen.

exotic
laced in a shroud that's so complete
you're a parasite
neurotic
self-shifting bones
and my soul to clean
you're a parasite
recital
charter a submarine and beat the rush
you're a parasite
in side-car
sharp breaking ball
total appeal
you're a parasite - Track Name: Won't Be There All The Time
-
you never understood why the birds kiss slowly
right through time in the mist
but, it's impossible to define
thank God I won't be there all the time
ecstatic, all the followers say with service
"get your feet all the way
into a harness," they'll never find
thank God I won't be there all the time
sewn in insides
what a stupid prank
went to an invite
found out the rook paid
it's all a raid
she said so
you're so unstable
why can't you write? - Track Name: Hostile Guy
-
side-burned
regal
hi-fi fidelity is still alive
soapbox rival
shower the expletives
and deny
don't even compromise it
now try the universal cry
sweetheart rental camera's conception
an uninvited talk
instant blah-blah
under committed
memory provides
red light sequel
no medication can heal the telling time
founding member
split sea carnivorous
close the blind - Track Name: Eddie Haskell
-
I deal in gravel
sour of breath
call on me
dabble in gravel
faded old
dad's mahogany
southwest
spotted blooms
I sold my suitcase
gallows and drinks are on me
floundering nude race
felon
diverse economy
couldn't save that stolen vice
gonna sell away the rights
buy some misguided tip
sermon bound with flame in store
been tied down to the breakroom floor
ventilated spite - Track Name: TrueCote™
-
down this undeveloped coastline
searching for a tank of fossil fuel
driving an Edsel
constrained to pursue this tourist state
opting for the secular weight
in Arizona
sea breeze across the state
they're building a lighthouse on the west coast channel
try and erase the summertime
tumbleweeds on foamy dunes
try and erase the summertime
startled with the thought of June
down this undeveloped coastline
running from the fashion lead stockade
driving an Edsel
this side of the bay is only
six-thousand degrees from cold air
hidden
staying out of sight
spawned by
collegiate satellite
molten
older than the sky
richter
fits passenger side - Track Name: Gilligan's Bible

last year I spent the night in Reno
right about this time
swallowed dove while playing keno
bitters splashed with lime
thought of ending on a keynote
and right now
it's raining something white
bland red salmon
woke up to find they'd robbed me blind (dynamo)
the odds were 3 to 1 (dynamo)
the Finnish lost the fight
two kids, a wife, a home, a dog (dynamo)
the laughs were never long (dynamo)
basking in the smog
last year I spent the night in Reno
right about this time
saunter candy stripe casino
as I bet pass line
shrill style makeup
and right now
it's raining something white
FREE SOAP
I declined to go renew my passport
and fly to Canada
leave it all behind
we decided to pass out in Reno
right about this time
it's raining something white - Track Name: Wreck Of The Big Ragoo

due south, clear horizon (wind will die. that's)
one more real lie
red sky rising on port side
near gale, wind rising (Captain cries. big)
storm on starboard side
forecast
in another small craft
that's sunken
white caps rub the salt in my eyes
clam sea, dead silence (in the eye, with)
hell on either side
not time
judgement day has arrived
go throw down the storm anchor (all hands heave to)
swamping turned the bilge pump off (try and head her)
aye
and we're capsizing
grab the flares and lifejackets (mayday mayday)
that's sunken
white caps rub the salt in my eyes
is it gonna be alright
there's something coming up tonight - Track Name: Premier Kissov

Jaycee
shape in a bottle
bonafide hayseed
flexin' at forty
and I'm fine
he thinks she's having a good time
in drive
but pulling out slow
I think she's having a good time
we cruise the wheaty silos
roan tooth
two packs
on treated afternoons
rhinestone handled revolver at his home
fractured slowly
bend
scaffold
halo
standard press - Track Name: Mazel Tov Cocktail

and in the wind, it's all the same
on a salty day
next time
(but in the wind, it's all the same)
and in the wind, it's all the same
on a salty day
next time
say the last word
always
bring back the state of the garden delight
no silver line
no silver lining
and in the wind, it's all the same
on a salty day
next time
(but in the wind, it's all the same)
and in the wind, it's all the same
on a salty day
next time
no silver line
no silver lining
and in the wind, it's all the same
on a salty day
next time
(but in the wind, it's all the same)
and in the wind, it's all the same
on a salty day
next time - Track Name: Hard Of Seeing
-
sell out
blinked and couldn't see
despite it
lanced the sore and wailed
cursed, the Siamese
we are fools
flawless foul creation
dawn a critical belief
one pathetic bore
but, I've been wrong before
violet signal of escape
leaves a hammer in it's wake
cursed, the Siamese
we are fools
flawless foul creation
dawn a critical belief
one pathetic bore
but, I've been wrong before
Jai alai
said I had the right - Track Name: Handyman Negri
-
bet his son refused the static
chosen few who negotiate
to god
the sound
it measures glitch implanted
the sound of static
Johnny Law was serving overseas
shirk away consecutive advance
with a Fighthouse travel magazine
thought his daughter was dressed to be
a gracious host
I'm not your gracious host
corresponding colorful beliefs
defy infatuation
back in the woodshed
falling to his knees
thought his daughter was dressed to be
a gracious host
I'm not your gracious host - Track Name: Welcome Nero
-
country-clubbing on the coast of Spain
set aside a free pair
new design
buy a rotten goal
clip tie on the railroad
well, I walked out of my way
under trees that made me faint
softly broken lights display
dare we dub pirate scam play
we'll talk about everything
still sitting on the box spring
we'll talk about everything
welcome, Nero
well, I walked out of my way
under trees that made me faint
softly broken lights display
clear blue Holy drug
you're excited Mrs. Seidelbaum
Federali won't be long
overstated and it's on you hands
sweater times
make more plans
we'll talk about everything
still sitting on the box spring
we'll talk about everything
welcome, Nero - Track Name: Fred's Barbecue House

west-side Irish taverns
pitted against the slumlord's breakfast habit
