Revenge Recommends: "Pinball Prison Blues" by Puddles Pity Party


Here at Riff Raff Towers we are, generally speaking, musical purists with a deep distrust of unearthly fusions, such as rock-rap, gypsy punk, nintendocore. etc.


We are also instinctively set against the very idea of "mash ups," in which two well-known songs are usually badly spliced together.

But we also pride ourselves on our open-minded attitudes, and are willing to be won over by true talent. Such is the case here with PUDDLES PITY PARTY and his eerie merging of two classics, namely THE WHO's "Pinball Wizard" and JOHNNY CASH's "Folsom Prison Blues."

Incredibly both songs emerge refreshed in my mind from the encounter, instead of cheapened and sullied, which is often the outcome of such illicit unions.
