Dude, what the fuck? That's all that can really be said upon taking a listen to Bob Log III's School Bus. I mean, okay-- as a kid, Log lost one of his hands in a boating accident, and has since replaced it with a monkey paw. An actual monkey paw? I don't know-- the press kit says "monkey paw," so I guess it's a real monkey paw. Can you imagine how that went down, though? "Well, Ma. Junior'n I was out on the boat and he kinda got his hand all caught up in th' engine there... But don't worry! We fixed it! We just put on a monkey paw."

So, yeah, he plays the guitar with his monkey paw and the result is School Bus, a square- dancing record for the criminally insane. It boasts Beck- like production qualities, weird- ass percussion, and song titles like "Land of a Thousand Swirling Asses" and "I Want Your Shit On My Leg," but to really get an idea of how totally bizarre the album actually is, you just have to hear it. It's the only answer.
