Deconstruction, reconstruction and demolition is what this thrashing of rock oldies is all about. things outside the skin’s take on the Spice Girls ultra-moronic “Spice Up Your Life” with a spooky electronica version, really nutty fun. One of many highlights of an outstanding album.

A few years ago, Kill Switch … Klick mastermind d.A. Sebasstian left Cleopatra Records and started Go-Kustom Records. The label’s latest and best release, subtitled “A Tribute to the Music Teens Love,” is a collection of some of the best (or worst) songs ever geared to the teen market. Some are played straight; others take the term “cover” to new heights and subtle beauty. Faith & Disease’s gorgeous “Johnny Angel,” Courtney Hudak’s acoustic “Girlfriend” and Introversion’s 21st-century “Runaway” all sparkle. Sebasstian punks out the Jackson 5’s “I’ll Be There” and turns it into a stalker’s song. Remora, [doll factory] and Things Outside the Skin craft remakes of “Hangin’ Tough,” “Baby One More Time” and “Spice Up Your Life” into nightmarish visions of industrial and somewhat danceable mayhem. Most outrageous is 212 destroying the Bay City Rollers’ “Saturday Night” into a mess of haywire magnetic tape.

Teen Feeding Frenzy is not a new movie from Troma, it is a compilation-record with covers of well known tunes… …also things outside the skin’s version of Spice Up Your Life works well. Little bit of Manson, little bit of Kraftwerk, some LSD and voila!

Now here’s an idea for a compilation CD that should’ve been fleshed out long ago – get 17 diverse indie bands and have them cover an even more diverse range of teen heartthrob hits. Sure, a lot of the appeal to this Go Kustom compilation lies in the kitsch appeal, but remarkably enough, there really are some worthwhile interpretations here. …things outside the skin deliver a downright spooky techno-industrial version of the Spice Girls “Spice Up Your Life” that sounds somewhat like Ministry in the “Halloween” days. …The best stuff here is the most surprising, as bands pull pretty superb tracks from material by the Spice Girls, Davy Jones, and *NSync. Recommended, especially for pop culture whores like myself.
