We're not like the rest of you slaughtered cows...
Superfriends may be the most underrated Sweetwater album ever. Sure, there was dissapointed when "Superstar" never became the #1 radio hit that fans expected it to be, and given its timely release in 1995 during the waning years of grunge, many (this blogger included) expected Superfriends to be the seminal album of the post-grunge era. Listen to the final track on the album, "Win", and remember how you felt the first time you heard "you and me are different from the world..."
oh yeah, and check here for some nice reviews of "Superfriends" and worthy tributes to our heros from Sea-town - Superfriends on Amazon
heck you can even buy the album for 1 cent if it somehow dissapeared from your CD collection over the years...

Friend,
On May 24th, 1844, Samuel F.B. Morse dispatched the first telegraphic message over an experimental line from Washington D.C. to Baltimore. That message: "What Hath God Wrought?"
Well, Friend, after many years we know hear an answer: "A putrid ass cloud called Sweatwater, and their benighted interpretation of rock 'n roll!"
Facts like this would be hard to surmount if one did not have SUPERFRIENDS to kick around. Tracks 1 through 6 sound like Green Apple Quick Step's WONDERFUL VIRUS filtered through JP Patches' butt-cheeks. The rest of them are not mentioning in this missive, for fear that JP Patches is listening.
SUPERFRIENDS = SUPERSHIT
SGM should have skipped right over this whole affair and gone right into being The Parc Boys. Not THAT was a great fucking band!!!
WGS
oh, by the way. There's a REAL blog about a REAL band here:

Not the same after Dudley left.
alright, asshole, you're banned from ever posting here again! I mean, we hate to get all Stalinist, but DO YOU REALIZE WHAT YOU"RE SAYING?!?
First of all, any comparison to Green Apple Quickstep is totally inapropriate, and second, that reference to an obscure and bogus Spinal Tap album review is well, totally inaprioriate!
Its because of dipshits like you, WGS, that Sweetwater never got their due. so while you sit back in your armchair waxing poetic about your politically driven interpretation of rock music, we'll just keep celebrating the music of Seattle's greatest rock band - Sweetwater!!
which is to say, just wait for our next big post...

When a man slanders the Superfriends, he becomes a child.
When a grandmother sells her copy of Superfriends for a penny, she becomes a dead...she dies (though it is totally unrelated, just that it was her time to go to great creator, and, sure, maybe all that internet voodoo with the Amazon and the bidding, that certainly didn't help the situation and her old creaky ticker just said, 'Forget it! I've had it with all this tomfoolery, enough, death!' ... so I guess we can rewrite her obit to read: When this grandmother of 7 girls and 44 grandchildren decided to sell her only copy of Superfriends on the world wide web, she dead. Died.
ps - how about that time when Rich Amaral came into the game against the Yankees and Junior was on 1st and "Do You Want To Be Rich" is playing but they can't figure out how to turn it off -- in fact it only gets LOUDER -- then Rich hits a double and Junior slides in...See ya SKANKEES!!!
SUPERFRIENDS ON SALE FOR 1 CENT? BIGGEST SWINDLE SINCE TEAPOT DOME
OK, I'll cease posting after this. However, i feel this is more of a public service announcement. As an ethical human i cannot silently stand-by while profiteers fleece the rock 'n roll consumer by selling Superfriends for a penny. Who can afford such indulgance on worthless culture these days? Someone call Ralph Nader because this album is not safe at any speed!!!
Society would be better served if the SUPERFANS sent their CD's of SUPERFRIENDS to AOL. At least that way, AOL would begin to know what its like to recieve shit in the mail.
... and, I'd sooner claim Burien heritage than include these hacks in the cannon of great Seattle bands. Hey, while we're at it, lets throw Chin Muff in there!!!
That is all.
