This is like the greatest shit ever
RIP Mick Lynch. Was so great and crazy, alive.
I found this album at a Goodwill for 89 cents in phenomenal condition and it will forever be one of the best finds I think I could pull off at a friggin' Goodwill. Boggy Home is the best Pixies song that Captain Beefheart never wrote.
This is totally out of left field and on a very old comment, but I think Iggy Pop's New Values LP from 1979 has some great Pixies-esque songs too. The opening track, between the abrasive guitar and the throbbing melodic clean Kim Deal bass. Reminds me so much of Surfer Rosa/Doolittle, but a decade before obviously. Mick's vocals seem to have a little Iggy influence in them. And of course I can't forget to mention the similarities between Stump and Primus several years after, which I think is the most readily apparent.
@@johnm9213 Sitting here now in my COVID-19 quarantine, I just pulled this album up for some quick listening while my wife was napping and now I see this comment. I'll have to dig into that Iggy LP again because when I first listened, I definitely don't think I caught this, but I was probably just busy being disappointed it wasn't Fun House. I think one thing I love that keeps me coming back to Stump is how they, in their own, completely idiosyncratic way, kinda predicted the post rock boom of the 90s? The more I listen to this album, the more I can hear Tortoise and bands like them. Fascinating.
@@lf4227 listen again -just to cheer yourself up. Whoops too soon, whoops too fast !
RIP MIck!
That's pretty much the same story with me. I think I still have that disk packed away somewhere 30-odd years later.
Buffalo and Charleton Heston are my favorites.
My guess, is that someone played it for about 7 seconds and returned it.
After all these years and hearing the album again, these other songs are growing on me as I take in the album as a whole.
This album is the most perfect example of something being shockingly grotesque and shockingly beautiful at the same time. I'm really happy to have discovered this.The band should really be proud of this album, even if they never got the respect or attention they deserved. Rest in Peace Mick.
One of the best albums EVER!
No feeling like it when you discover a band and their music sends chills down your spine!
Masters of rhythm, I once heard John Peel say about them.
This is up there in my top ten greatest albums. Such playfulness in the lyrics, from Mick Lynch, combined with Kev Hopper’s insane fretless bass, Chris Salmon’s harmonic guitar and Rob McKahey’s chaotic drum style.
I became a fan from the moment I beheld ‘how much is the fish’ on The Tube, while convalescing on the sofa as a sick teenager. Their music sounded like how I felt at the time. I’m still sad about Mick’s death, but grateful that they were a part of my life at the time.
Yup, had a copy of Quirk Out in 92, after hearing “Charlton Heston” in 89. Liked it, but only about six Months ago did I appreciate the total f*#£ing Genius of their Music. I too feel sad about Mick’s Death. Feels like He should have known that there are a lot of people that realised His Talent. Imagine a Reunion Tour? My Young Daughter just LOVES Buffalo. Vindication of Genius.
Stump's music is full of contradictions - daft yet poignant, avant-garde yet toe-tappingly catchy, lyrically dense but always direct in its meaning. It shouldn't work and yet it absolutely does. Every time I return to this album it amazes me all over again.
A beautiful way of explaining it!
My understanding is that Stump's fanbase thought this was too polished and mainstream? Or is this a historical simplification? This album is truly out there in the best way possible. Hard to see why anyone would be disappointed by this.
Kim, the backlash came from their tune Charlton Heston getting play on MTV. I will never understand why fans feel like they "own" a band and to hell with them for 'selling out'. That is just stupid. CAKE has a tune about this problem called Rock and Roll Lifestyle. Cheers and happy new year!
The band didn't like the production on this album.
And it's relevant to this very day!
Bought this on cassette when I was 16 after having seen Charlton Heston on MTV’s 120 Minutes. Still have it. Still love it. Nothing else like it.
I used to get soooo baked in the early 90s, pop this album in, and float away. And then... I forgot all about it for 30 years.
But tonight, literally cleaning out my closet, I rediscovered that ancient cassette album, brought to you in Dolby Audio by Chrysalis Records, and so much came rushing back. Well it did after finding this post on YT, of course, since I no longer have a method to play cassette audio.
Of course the music, but also everything attached to it... Feelings of hormone-induced sadness and longing, the peacefulness of zoning out to music unlike anything else, the revelation of being and feeling weird and being OK with it.
This is fantastic. It's the best night of my year so far, by far. I'm so happy.
so did I Kevin! 16!!......fuckitall!
It fair upsets me when I think Mick has passed away..cos stump were and in my opinion are still one of the best and to come from the 80s....R.I.P. MICK..
I know. He was only 56. No age. Great to still listen to. Loved his fish he did he did.
Check out Micks alter ego,Don for Chickens,on you tube and SoundCloud.
Also,excellent radio documentary,’Lights,Camel,Action’
Mick once gave me a Stump pin badge,he found in his mothers attic,while clearing out the house after she passed away.She had collected all his stuff!
‘Here man ,have this,I know you’re a fan!’
R.I.P. Mick
Damn
That's much
Such an amazing unique band .Their gig at Dingwalls London will live with me forever .
Like Fatima Mansions their humour was just wonderful but because the music was genius .Get goosebumps listening to this album .
I made sure my 6 year old son Patrick knows the lyrics to Buffalo .Amazing you can hear the whole album on here .Such a gift
Oh my god somebody else knows about Fatima Mansions!
Back in the late 80's i had a copy of Metal Maniacs magazine and Mike Patton (Faith No More, Mr.Bungle, etc) said this was one of his favorite albums, and like a moron i never checked it out until now. If Mike Patton says it's good, then it has to be good, and he was correct. This band was WAY ahead of their time!!! R.I.P. Mick
Mr. Bungle rules! I actually found Stump through an English indie cassette compilation called C86 (released in 1986). It's rare, but it's on TH-cam. It's a solid comp in it's own right, but of course Stump REALLY stands out with "Buffalo".
Trevor Dunn sent me.
@@whatilearnttoday5295 same here
I checked this out for the hell of it because I was looking for Irish band on St.Paddy's day and their band name and the album title caught my imagination. It's actually pretty great!
Bass playing…. Mind blowing😳😳😳
The song alcohol has been such an important song to me for over a decade now. I heard it one day in someone’s car and never let it go. It reminds me of an old abandoned haunted house on a mountain near where I grew up that got demolished.
I was lucky enough to see them live in 1986. They were fantastic.
They were!
I have only found out Mick has passed. Really sad news, as I always loved the band. Most singers you see perform and produce a carbon copy of there songs with or without band accompanying them, but in terms of delivery they are static with no dynamics. Mick is there with the charismatic performers that give or gave so much more, emotion, tension, humour, a physical energy as they prowl and own the stage. He is with Leonard Cohen, Damien Rice, Nick Cave, Iggy Pop a truly great artist. I feel honoured to have seen him perform, thanks for your music Mick.
Me and my mates loved Stump when we were in school in the mid eighties. Of course, why not!?
I am an Eager bereaver.
They truly were a fantastic band. Saw them on the Tube Channel 4 UK TV show and was hooked. Caught them live a couple of times, Exeter in '86 and '88 in London. Brilliant memories. Overheard one guy at the '86 gig say to his pal; 'They are pretty funky!' Now I know what he means.
I got to see Stump ha hand full of times in small pubs and venues in London 1986-87. They were my favorite band at the time, ahead of Tackhead Soundsystem and The Smiths

thanks bro!
PrimusSucksOnThis No, Thank you man for introducing me to this awesomely unique album!
thanks
Vile......exquisite........daft........clever...........cluttered.............immaculate......STUMP once heard......change ones musicmindscape....forever. I LOVE THEM......Mick- see you soon pal.
I just discovered this today at my record haunt. $3.00, and I bought it because I have a friend who's nickname is Stump, and because I enjoyed what I was listening to. Great stuff.
Five years later, I hope you got your money's worth 😂
I've no idea where you came from but you are the man, woman, messiah.....Thank you so very very much for this treasure.
this is my favourite band. easily the best irish record ever made, nothing comes close
A wonderful album. The tune Bone is an indictment on violence; it takes us through creation, re-enacts the ape murder scene from 2001 - A Space Odyssey, and ends with nuclear destruction. Pretty intense stuff from a group of players that many dismiss as merely a joke band. And this is just scratching the surface.
These lyrics are very descriptive.
When I bought this rare pearl vinyl, many years ago, in a weekly market in my home town (Plasencia/Extremadura/Spain), I did'nt know Stump yet. I bought it for several reasons, first of all, its original and beautifull front cover. After listening it, I was excited and amazed about this music (the rare combination of atonal music with folk music in some songs). The song "Alcohol" was incredible in my first listening, with that rhythmic cadence of bass and electric guitar and sound effects!!!. Summing up, a rare vinyl treasure which I already keep in my music collection of vinyls, CDs and cassettes...¡¡Greetings to all of you an sorry for my English!! ;)
Apology not accepted.
Because it wasn't needed.
One of the greatest bands in the history of rock music. Heard them on MTV of all places in the early 80s. Love at first quirk. I swiftly had to own all they ever recorded.
One of the best albums I've ever heard.
So I came here doing Research, Wikipedia says Stump have been called "a significant precursor to post-rock", And while I really don't see too much similarity to Post-Rock here, I'm staying 'cause honestly these songs slap.
Great to hear the full album. I've only got a four track promo sampler on 12" vinyl and not heard the whole album till now. Ruddy marvelous.
Nothing short of exceptional and ahead of its time. Indeed, Primus eat your heart out.
Thank you so much for putting this up - I am finding it difficult to get a copy - Alcohol is a bleeding classic! As is much more
If Primus had a Dad. Im proud of you Son!
No problem. I'll be putting up the rest of their stuff really soon.
mick is a legend here in cork very very witty man also hilarious, was talkin with him recently was tellin' me him and his girlfriend were goin to doctors to get contraceptive in the early 80s and there were people with holy mary statues' praying for them outside at the front of the building.
schtuum ??? schtuum, were you at the 2015 Stump "Schtumm" reunion?
no didnt know about it was devastated to miss it mick said they plan on doin 2more gigs in cork clonakilty guitar fest and freds again
+schtuum ??? That's unusual, no news about Stump showing up at the fest anywhere on the web. Have you seen the Orgasm Way track from the reunion?
What a gem! Thank you for this!
Alcohol.A true classic,thank you.
love this band... cannot get enough of their music...
such fun
Man,what an exciting new find!!....
I liked the fact that they liked Flann O'Brien. Still got my old cassette of it.
“A visit to the doctor” got some airplay on WFNX in Boston. Still have a cassette w that song taped off the broadcast.
This one is quite the experience.
Worth every penny
Eager Bereaver-what an incredible song.
Excellent post
I'm so glad this is on the internet.
Saw them live. A great thing.
I know! Thought it was ace at the time. And I was right.
RIP MICK LYNCH
This is a master class in making dissonant music catchy.
YESSSS, 1987 i heard this piece of music while charming on my classmate ;o) Britta, das war die zweite Band, die ich Dir verdanke. #TheSmiths #Stump #KölnKlassenfahrt
Saw them at the Marquee in the 80s. They reproduced this music accurately live. Incredible writer.
Trevor Dunn brought me here. 🎉
See ya in the other albums!
Hell yeah!!! This was the soundtrack to my high school prog life cuz I somehow found this in the bargain bin and wanted something more punk-ethic than King Crimson! Still great!
I'll be posting up "Big End" and the "Post-Pancake" disc from the Complete Anthology soon. There might also be a possibility for me to find the rare "Lights! Camel! Action!" 12" remix, but it's all in due time.
8 years ago but... "Lights! Camel! Action!" 12" rare? Gee whizz.
On a whim i gave a lot of my vinyl away, and went digital. W!hat a mistake. I don't mean monetary.
Dude, the Stump FB page shared this video :O
I know! :) I also have seen it in an article about the upcoming Stump compilation "Does The Fish Have Chips?" I've been following Kev Hopper on FB to keep myself updated on Stump stuff. Check out his new band, Prescott. They just came out with an album called One Did. It's very reminiscent of Stump.
Stump has been in my life for close to a decade now, but I’m back on this video because I’ve been reading Flann O’Brien’s The Third Policeman and a character keeps describing situations and events as “a _____ pancake.” It made my brain do a triple take and whaddya know-the album is dedicated to Flann O’Brien and named after the phrase the character says!
Well worth a read if you’ve got a mind for tough, wild postmodernist fiction
A genius of an author. Hopefully you've read At Swim Two Birds also. If not, enjoy when you do.
AFP is one of my DESERT ISLAND DISCS, along with Zappa, Magma, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, KCrimson & Beefheart: sonic-gold soul food, this!
a new fan
6Music probably still play this. No-one else would.
Trevor Dunn brought me here
Hell yea, theanalpunisher! 😂Read somewhere that Mike Patton is a big fan of this album too.
@@ColoRADbro420 all the Bungle guys are
@@ColoRADbro420 check out Cardiacs aswell
Total Primus Vibes! ♡
WOW THE BASS IS VERY COOL!!! REMINDS ME OF NICK CARN AND/OR PERCY JONES!!! HOW DOES A BAND WRITE SONGS LIKE THAT!?!
perfect oh perfect oh me perfect
WTF did I just hear ? That's genius ! Who are these musicians and do they have other projects ?
Kev Hopper and Chris Salmon still make music, not together though. Mick Lynch recently passed away. I'm not sure if Rob McKahey still is in the business
Kev's solo stuff:
kevhopper.bandcamp.com/music
Pretty much everything they made *except* for this album is collected on the compilation "Does the fish have chips?" which is on all the streaming services and is still in print as far as I know.
Unfortunately, I can't seem to find any sort of copy of A Fierce Pancake by fair means or foul...
I miss this band
"how much is the chips , does the fish have chips ?"...from the track " buffalo" thanks stump. if you like this ? then try ,the very things the" bushes scream while my daddy prunes " video . ...
Just what the Dr ordered...! Nice moniker by the way...!(is that some twisted connection to Les Claypool's bass sound I wonder..?)
Joycean brilliance
Wow. What was I expecting? To flip songs after 45 seconds. Well, is my face red or what?
th-cam.com/video/J147W57FSEs/w-d-xo.html
Check out Boomspung's (the bassist) solo stuff - also great.
You mean Spoombung? LOL
I do not own a physical copy of any Stump albums, unfortunately. In my time of searching, I have been able to find UK copies on places like eBay, though. Get them whenever you can. Buffalo does not belong on this album, and I'm not sure why they would exclude Eager Bereaver.
American version, mate: how I bought it in NOLA in 1988. STUMP SUCKS!
With alcohol I rule the world.....
This is the only audio of "Eager Bereaver" I have been able to find on the web. Many thanks!
Any chance I could get a copy of that song off you? It wasn't included in the US release of the LP.
I love all of you who knew stump in their time. I didn't, got recommended the album by a fantastic cartoonist. Maybe it's wrong but I don't care about Mick or any of the other guy's other projects, I just love this album specifically. Don't know what else to say. Love that we all love this beautiful stuff.
well you've got to at least give a listen to Quirk Out!
And Mud on a Colon.
There's a moment in In The Green that makes me feel like I'm listening to Revolver.
And there's a moment in the song where I feel like I'm listening to Band Aid's "Do They Know it's Christmas"
@@dogmapile5832 norman tebbit on his bike reciting :)
R.I.P Mick
Does anyone know where to buy this album in digital format (mp3/flac)?
anybody have the first album? my tape finally died...
I think these guys listened to luc van acker's the ship album
88
Crazy
this is proof that primus truly does suck.
Trout Mask Replica
Well,....no. This has nothing to do with Beefheart. Indeed the Band themselves didn't like to be compared to the Captain, because his avantgarde Madness is based on American Blues. Stump's music isn't.
What the shit? This is so fucking baller. Especially while taking a good hit out of my hookah/bong.
Weird. My version does not have Eager Bereaver
The reason is most likely because you have the US version, which for some reason excluded that track and replaced it with Buffalo, an older track from a previous release
Thank you, I wondered if that was the case. Mine does indeed have Buffalo.
Avant-garde, Alternative rock, Indie rock, Post-punk, Funk rock, Experimental rock
I'm stumped I haven't heard of this band before... Anyone see what I did there? If not then you might want to do some brain problems.
