Why Bother?  Who they sound like?  Sometimes they remind me of Syd Barrett (like on the last song on this album), but mostly they sound like Why Bother?  They just keep making music that always makes my day.  -- winch

 

Serenading Unwanted Ballads is the fifth album from Iowa's WHY BOTHER? and a testament to the fact that they will never make the same record twice. Full of twists, their unique approach to Midwestern synth punk becomes their own sound of Gothadelic, weirdo madness. Several of these tracks make their first vinyl appearance after surfacing on previous E.P.s and singles, while a newer mix of "Some Don't Dance" speaks to the unwavering creativity of the group. 

"Testify", recorded by friend (and contributing song writer) Aaron, while serving his life sentence at Anamosa State Prison, adds a layer of originality and bleakness to these unwanted ballads.

WHY BOTHER? have made yet another album by themselves, for themselves, and for anyone else willing to be serenaded by the doom of what awaits in the shadows. Feel It Records is proud to be the ONLY record label that can offer you such things.

Get one while you can
Format: Mass Market Paperback
Any book with the name Stokely Carmichael is a rare find. You can easily find the same book with Kwame Ture as the author since he changed his name and so later editions reflects the name change. Kwame Ture (fka Stokely Carmichael) changed his name for a reason. However, those of us from the sixties can never forget him nor the name Stokely Carmichael.

Fewer stickers please!
Format: Paperback
Like New book was exactly that for the insides. Unfortunately there were many USED stickers on the cover. A hair dryer and alcohol swab got most of it but my cover still is “sticky”.
