Archers of Loaf - Classic Rock Is for Pussies 7'' (Esther, 1995)

Rating: 10+ scuzzy drunkards out of 10

Archers of Loaf, if not my very favorite band of all time, are at least top three.  Both songs on this seven inch, "Mutes in the Steeple" and "Smokin' Pot in the Hot City" are also available on their singles compilation "The Speed of Cattle," but that doesn't mean I'm not going to purchase every single thing I ever see the band's name on.  Plus the versions on the compilation sound slightly different - according to the liner notes, they were recorded as part of a John Peel session.  I'm not sure where the seven inch versions came from, but they definitely sound dirtier.  "Mutes" is a favorite of mine regardless of format.
