Partman Parthorse’s latest snide, punk-rock sneerfest is a song that
rattles off—then proceeds to shit-talk—damn near every band
in Seattle (“Dutchess and the Duke make me wanna puke… Mt. St.
Helens Vietnam Band/More like Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Bland”). It
concludes in the chorus: “I don’t know where they’re coming from/But I
sure know where they’ve been/And I know where they’re going/Straight
to the dollar bin.” From any other band, “Emerald City Dollar Bin”
might constitute serious beef, but from the infinitely flip and
un-fucking-fadeable PMPH, it’s all in good fun. (Funhouse,
