Thurston was hiding out in St John's

1995 - Cindy (Rotten Tanx) 7"

This seven inch was released as a promotional item for the 1995 record 'Psychic Hearts'. I could go on and on and on about that record and it definitely belongs in my Top Ten Records Of All Time list, but this post is only related to that album by proxy, and I'm pretty sure that you can easily find a copy of that one if you want to.

I found this little gem hiding in a pile of otherwise totally uninteresting 7"s out at a tiny little record store in St Johns at the far north end of Portland. This same trip to this record store yielded up a Deftones promotional 7" for '7 Words' as well, which people have offered me all kinds of crazy things to trade for including first-born children. Oh, those wacky Deftones fans...
Anyway, this little record has the album track Cindy (Rotten Tanx), a super fucking tough bad-ass of a song that grinds like a night driving in the city, high on youth energy and a joint you snuck past your parents. Doesn't make sense? Listen and maybe it will. The lyrics have something to do with a guy who is rapturing in the idea of wrapping himself up in all the things that are amazing about females, but get a little lost in all the revved up guitar slithering.
The B-Side is the otherwise unreleased track 'Teenage Buddhist Daydream', a gentle, lo-fi, songlette which is interrupted in several spots by seemingly random clips of audio, probably dubbed off a TV. Considering the heft of 'Psychic Hearts' it makes sense that it wasn't included on the record. It isn't a total throw away though, and if you like the album you'll probably want to hear this.
