Stomock straddles the fine line between genius and the abyss.
Dzhonius, 2005
As welcome as a Porto-John at a keg party and as difficult to locate as
a tampon at a Poison concert, this long-delayed solo effort by Washington,
D.C. folk mama's boy Danni C. has finally been forced out, dispelling the
rumors of his untimely death in 1968. Presented on Time After Tim are previously
unreleased tracks, including "Way Beyond The Bowel," "Penny
To My Penis," and, unfortunately, many more. (Review of "Time
After Tim")Following in the footsteps of Bob Dylan, who was actually
stuck inside of Mobile, Stömöck became a powerful sociopolitical
voice in Memphis's vibrant digestive scene before ending his own life in
1977 (sorry, that was Elvis). Captured here are the raw beginnings of that
forgettable sound, made immortal for a minute or two in songs like "The
Color of Pepto Bismol" and "Suburban Ghetto Grease." (Review
of "The Early Years: The Complete Memphis Sessions")Southern swamp
boogie blues rock is this group's latest pathetic attempt to reach yet another
adolescent market. Calling themselves Dixie Stömöck, this "offering"
features heavy helpings of "down home" out-of-tune guitar and
preprogrammed rockabilly backbeats that turn up like cowpies in a graveyard.
Tracks like "Overturn the Outhouse Mama" overwork the thick-as-molasses
roots sound of an old Johnny Winter LP. Put on your feedcap or sheet, &
get ready to kick shit. (Review of Dixie Stömöck's "Share
a Stall With Shorty")

If you would stop making fun of yourself and the world you might actually make some good music.

I hate Stomock.
