About this album

Touch And Go (1992) Released: 28 Oct 1992 15 tracks (37:52)
Released on January 01, 1987, “Songs About Fucking” is the second LP by the post-hardcore/noise rock band Big Black. It placed 54th on Pitchfork Media’s ‘Top 100 Albums of the 1980s’.

Included was covers of Kraftwerk’s “The Model” and Cheap Trick’s “He’s a Whore”.

The band had already decided to split up before the album was recorded, prompted by guitarist Santiago Durango’s decision to enroll in Law School, and the band’s desire to quit while at their peak.

    Tiny, King of the Jews: the cure for Parkinson's.

    March 2012

  • Ctuak

    Whipping, brutal guitar lines motivated by some kind of unnatural, synthetic energy. With an equally alienated commentary spouted over each track, dealing with themes of social aggression, boredom, and a general distaste for anything and everyone around you. What lengths will we go to in order to convey our emotions, and have fun?

  • PartySanCTG

    Their best album. Also, @vapor-trail: kerosene's used to treat Parkinson's?

    August 2011

  • DemonTauruS2

    Cool, unique, and driven, borderlining the acidpunk metal insanity of the Butthole Surfers. A must have album.

    Forever reminding us never to have sex with Steve Albini (or, for those inclined, the complete opposite).

    @ vapor-trail: Thats how I memorised the drugs for an exam I had a couple years back

    I just realized that two of the songs on this album are named after drugs that are used to treat Parkinson's disease. Maybe I should put down the textbooks and go outside today.

    I know I'm late, but I just listened to this album for the first time. I now get what everyone's talking about.

    I like how one can read band name and album title together as in "big black songs about fucking".

    'He's a whore' not on the vinyl, Kerosene is on Atomizer. I pretty much based my act on BB - couldn't afford the Roland though: http://www.last.fm/music/COWMAN
