Outsider anti-folk. Disturbing at times, hysterical at others: "Dangerous stuff. Only for lovers of pure music and art." "This revolting individual has produced a killer work of art."

notes

*** THIS CD WAS ONE OF NY ROCK'S TOP 10 FOR 2001! ***

* Stalking people
* Pyromania
* Compulsive disorders
* Experiences with old prostitutes
* Intimate relationship with dead people
* A control freak who eventually drives his wife to extreme measures

It's all here on this CD- Songs that make you laugh while you're gasping in horror. It's music that brings out a little bit of the psychopath in all of us.

"But are these songs true? Am I a bad person for listening? I'm so very scared and confused. Troy obviously has some issues and I'm not sure I want to condone them by buying his CD. It's like laughing at the mentally ill- it's just not appropriate."

Screw the little voice in your head. He's a little jerk and I think he owes me money. Despite what anybody tells you, it's OK to listen to Troy Lukkarila music.

Just enjoy!

Don't Sit on Tables of the follow up to the critically acclaimed Every Day is Garbage Day.

  • ...enriched with a moronic, low-brow humor that would make Dr. Demento proud...
    author: Mish Mash Music Reviews

    Perhaps you could get a good idea of where Troy Lukkarila is coming from if I quoted a few lines from his song Compulsion: "WASH MY HANDS! / There's germs everywhere / And I gotta stay clean! / There's germs everywhere /and they're all after me!" Yes, Lukkarila specializes in silly songs, enriched with a moronic, low-brow humor that would make Dr. Demento proud, a la Art Paul Schlosser. Most of the album plods along the expected course of stoopidity (especially on songs like Confessions of a Necrophiliac), yet a few tracks stand out above the rest. The somber mood of Road Trip gives the illusion of a serious song, yet the self-deprecating and juvenile lyrics push irony to the limit: "Mother I do such bad things / Can you look at your son the same?" The same feeling is present in Shy Boy and Playing God. This is where Lukkarila goes beyond mere dumb for dumb's sake and into dark comedy that can be downright painful in its subject matter.
