Derek Smalls (Harry Shearer) of Spinal Tap has finally released his new solo album Smalls Change. (This is a followup to the fictional 1970s album It’s a Smalls World). It features such guests such as Joe Satriani and Phil X (must have been paid over $10,000 for this one eh Deke?) The subject matter on the album includes butt-dialing and gummer-giving.
I know a certain Sausagefester who has dentures so I thought he’d dig the lyrics about gummers (“Gumming the Gash”). I tried to tell him. It didn’t go well.
Oh, that is so poignant and touching. The British Fund for Ageing Rockers, I mean. Good on them for funding Derek to make his Small mark. Pity the song is so shit.

Ugh, I know. The album isn’t particularly good. But hey.

Hey, it’s Derek Smalls! It would be disappointing if it wasn’t luke warm.

It’s too bad but the vocals are the worst part. This is why he needs David St. Hubbins!

There’s that saying about having your whole life to make the first album and 6 months to make the follow-up – I like that the Smalls follow-up took 40+ years!

Well I guess we just needed to wait for the world to catch up to Derek’s vision. Butt dialing and what not. (It’s a pretty funny song though.)
