From the Third Man Records site: The Pope of The Butthole Surfers and Silver Screen Legend, Gibby Haynes teams up with Third Man Records and releases into the wilds three blasts of psychic energy in the punk rock idiom exploiting a range of subjects from, teenagers on fire, Equine love affairs, and Recession shotgun stories. Yes folks, it’s the Gibby Haynes Blue Series 7” Single on Third Man Records and it’s being released on Valentines Day, 2013. For lovers.
The three-song single features two originals “You Don’t Have To Be Smart” and “Horse Named George,” and a cover of Adrenalin OD’s “Paul’s Not Home,” a lost classic (cough cough… ahem) that originally appeared on the 1982 New York Thrash compilation alongside the first ever recorded material by Beastie Boys and some of the earliest known recordings by Bad Brains, Kraut and others.
The limited edition component of this single will be another first for Third Man Records… a FLEX-RAY DISC. We’ll be selling a very limited number of copies of this single pressed on old medical x-rays from The Rolling Record Store in Austin, TX (The Butthole Surfers old stomping grounds…) during this year’s South By Southwest festival. So stay tuned here for more info on the RRS at SXSW, including more limited edition records, new items and merchandise, live performances from the truck and all the locations where we’ll be posted up this year.

Butthole Surfers - “Creep in the Cellar”
“Everywhere we played, we were the opening band, but people were just flipping out. Eddie wore army shorts, white Doc Martens, and a Butthole Surfers Locust Abortion Technician T-shirt every fucking day for the whole tour. He washed his clothes in the hotel room sink. He had a hole in the ass of his shorts, which he gaffer-taped. After every gig, he was shell-shocked because he was giving it his all.”

Featuring songs by Mudhoney, Soundgarden, Iggy Pop, Hole, the Butthole Surfers, the Fluid and Alice in Chains.
The short answer: No. Austin360 looks at the influence of Poison 13, Scratch Acid and the Butthole Surfers on the Seattle scene.

The headline (no pun intended) makes me blush, but it’s a nice piece. One word of advice I forgot to share: Don’t write an oral history if you value your emotional well-being.
A few days later, I was back home at a stoplight with my 7-year-olds, Lewis and Augie. They asked the question every father has to answer sooner or later: ‘Dad, did you know there’s a band called the Butthole Surfers?’
