Episode 02: We Are The Knuckleheads
30 May 2020 12:47:43 PST Direct Link
Notes
Track 2 off the 1995 album "Use Your Fingers".
In this episode we try to digest the racist undertones (and overtones) of Bloodhound Gang lyrics and understand how it related to the band's early cultural positioning. We also dive into the band's discography pre-Use Your Fingers, looking at a version of this song cut from Dingleberry Haze among others. Lots of sociological hypothesizing about intent and reaction!
