This is an album I found from one of my favorite blogs that no longer exists..maybe it was Earful Of Noize...or I Supply The Country With Butter..fact of the matter is those blogs don't exist so here is an album that is very hard to find!
World Of Pooh was an indie pop/post-punk/noise band from San Fran maybe 20 years ago. This is an easy album to get into; incredibly hard to find, considered a classic, hook-filled, lo-fi-ish production and just plain good songwritting. More information about disc (by the way I have uploaded the "Extended Edition" which has a couple tracks added on from the bands 7"s):
"After 28th Day broke up, [Barbara] Manning joined singer/guitarist Brandan Kearney's noise project World of Pooh and turned it into a rock band. The group's sole album, The Land of Thirst, commands high prices from collectors, and with good reason: it's a magnificent record. The terrible tensions within the band are hidden by wan melodies, but come out in the brutal lyrics: "Stay away, your flesh disgusts me/Your attentions are an ugly parody of things I've always wanted" (from Kearney's "Mr. Coffee-Nerves"). Almost every song is a killer, but the best are Manning's "Scissors" (covered by everyone from Peter Jefferies to Yo La Tengo), Kearney's "Playing One's Own Piano" and their collaboration, the simple, tragic "I'm on the Wrong Side." Secret weapon: drummer Jay Paget, who later joined Thinking Fellers Union Local 282. A subsequent World of Pooh single was notable for Manning's "Someone Wants You Dead"; the long-delayed A Trip to Your Tonsils EP rounded up most of the band's remaining recordings, including another version of "Stones of Judgement" and a cover of Les Paul and Mary Ford's "Blow the Smoke Away."'
