Lou Barlow - Institutionalized (Suicidal Tendencies Cover) with Lou Barlow Bandana packaging.

Lou Barlow (Sebadoh, Dinosaur Jr, Folk Implosion,etc) has been a long time favorite. I've been lucky enough to work with Lou for years through my relationship with Joyful Noise Recordings, but I was finally able to pull him in for a PIAPTK release, and I'm excited to do it for his excellent cover of "Institutionalized" by Suicidal Tendencies, which is a song that had a significant impact on me as a small town Texas weirdo in the early -mid 90s.

I thought it would be hilarious to make Mike Muir-style bandanas with "Lou Barlow" in Suicidal Tendencies font. 50 hours of heat transfer cutting, weeding, ironing, folding, stuffing, etc later I did NOT think it was nearly as funny. But, they came out great and I really hope you dig them!
