Dr. Colossus Sign to Black Farm Records
I’m kind of on the fence about these guys. On the one hand, Melbourne’s Dr. Colossus are pretty straight-up novelty — a heavy rock band with songs about The Simpsons. And hey, I’m a dude of a certain age who remembers when that show was at its best and it seemed like it was a filter through which to understand not only one’s own dysfunctional family dynamic, but the world around it, but there’s a part of me that feels like a band playing off The Simpsons as a theme is almost too on-the-nose. Like, yes, obviously. Someone had to do it eventually. Inevitable.
At the same time, Dr. Colossus‘ wildly referential 2021 outing, I’m a Stupid Moron With an Ugly Face and a Big Butt and My Butt Smells and I Like to Kiss My Own Butt, is a really good record. It of course got a lot of hype last year because it was fun and everybody’s miserable, but it’s impeccably put together, the songs are tight, performances sharp, production right on. By all accounts, a killer album. Certainly deserves a vinyl pressing provided you can fit the title on the cover.
Is it me? Am I anti-fun? Probably. I feel like I’m missing the party and like my inability to get on board is less about what they’re doing than my own joyless experience of the universe. To put it in Simpsons terms, I’m like a broke version of Mr. Burns, still trying to block out the sun.
A vinyl release date for the album is still TBD, but here’s the signing announcement:
Greetings from the Farm!

Get psyched, as our collaboration will see the vinyl reissue of their long sold-out second album “I’m a Stupid Moron With an Ugly Face and a Big Butt and My Butt Smells and I Like to Kiss My Own Butt”.
