The Zoomers -Exist CD
(Homework #204) Baton Rouge, Louisiana, 1979-1981. Stunning
warped pop. Way too smart to be "outsider music," but
probably too drug-addled to be anything else. Along with their
phenomenally-rare 45 (which leads off Homework #103 [formerly
#5]), the three of them made up a 12-song cassette as well called
"Exist" Here's both (with lots more to come). This is
how Zoomer's account begins: "The last thing I remember about
The Zoomers was driving down the levee road on the Mississippi
River in Baton Rouge, tripping my ass off on LSD in my Dad's Lincoln
Continental drinking Papst Blue Ribbon beer by the 12 pack and
throwing Zoomer 45s at whatever we could hit and that wasn't much,
except for that rather large dog that later turned out to be a
cow (it's amazing how much everything looks the same at 100 mph).
But like my Mom always said it's the thought that counts, anyway
at the end of a 3 day acid bender, thinking was the last thing
on my mind."
