Feature Album:
Thirteen years after the release of their first self-titled album The Presidents of the United States release their sixth album entitled These Are the Good Times People. The new album contains 14 tracks including “Mixed Up S.O.B.,” “Sharpen Up Those Fangs,” “More Bad Times,” “Truckstop Butterfly,”So Lo So Hi,” and “Deleter.” Most remember the group for their early songs including “Lump” and “Peaches,” but I always remember them most fondly for their cover version of the Buggle‘s 1979 hit “Video Killed the Radio Star.”
