If The Beatles had come from Lima

I am relaxing after a full day of work and yet another evening of moving household items. I hate moving.
I am sitting here sipping a glass of red wine, thinking about how much I hate moving and grooving to some weird, 1960s psychedelic music from Peru.
Huh?
No Fun Records, whose Web site is located here, has CDs of music you have never heard in your life, but probably should have heard.
"Back to Peru" is a fine example.
If you thought American garage rock was cool, what with kids in Detroit picking up guitars for the first time because they thought they were as good as The Beatles, just imagine the cool quotient of Peruvian garage rock. Kids in Lima, Peru, for gosh sakes, picked up guitars for the first time because they thought they were as good as The Beatles. Then, of course, these Peruvian kids took too many drugs and thought they were as good as Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd. They weren't. But they still made some good music. I imagine the junta just hated these guys. Long hair. Loud guitars. Amps turned up to 11.
Yeah... take that, junta. If there's one thing I hate more than moving. It's juntas.
