Crash Course in Crash Course...Jump Over Barrels

Mining the vein of The Normal, I give you Crash Course in Science.

Crash Course In Science are a minimal synth post punk band that formed in 1979 in Philadelphia. The band members, Dale Feliciello, Mallory Yago, & Michael Zodorozny met while attending art school. Inspired by performance art & the punk scene, they began to write quirky songs about household items, utilizing extremely rudimentary drum machines, toy instruments, & kitchen appliances augment the distorted guitar, drums and synthesized beats.

I posted their first single, Crash Course in Science - Cakes in the Home (1979) here & their 4-song 12" EP Signals from Pier Thirteen (1981) here.

I thougt everyone might like a bit more. After years without hearing from CCiS, in 2005 Mr Sam (Samuel Joël Paquet) appearred featuring the resurrected Crash Course in Science with Flying Around. Since then a slew of singles & two full-lengths (2011 & 2017) have been released.

I'm sticking with the shorts.

Yeah, I said the short ones, but when I was previewing these with a friend of mine (a Crash Course in Science fan), he said it was good but his favorite has always been 2011s Near Marineland. One of my all-time faves of their, "Jump Over Barrels (remix)" is on this disc. So as per his suggestion, here goes.
