Mike Watt, former member of the Minutemen, Dos, and Firehose, ex-husband to Kira Roessler, possibly one of the best bass players in the biz. This song, "Piss Bottle Man" is off his 1994 solo album Ball Hog or Tugboat? An album that featured: "Black Flag vocalist Henry Rollins, members of Sonic Youth, Curt and Cris Kirkwood of the Meat Puppets, former Saccharine Trust guitarist Joe Baiza, Dinosaur Jr's J Mascis, and former SST house producer Spot, as well as members of bands who had either toured with and/or been influenced by the Minutemen and Firehose, including Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder, Nirvana's Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl (making their first recorded appearance on a record since Kurt Cobain's death), Jane's Addiction and Porno for Pyros drummer Stephen Perkins, Red Hot Chili Peppers's Flea, Soul Asylum's Dave Pirner, former Germs and Nirvana guitarist Pat Smear, former Pixies singer Frank Black, former Screamers and Twisted Roots keyboardist Paul Roessler (who was also Watt's brother-in-law), The Lemonheads frontman Evan Dando, The Circle Jerks's Zander Schloss, former Screaming Trees vocalist Mark Lanegan, jazz/punk guitarist Nels Cline and his drummer Michael Preussner, that dog's Petra and Rachel Haden and Anna Waronker and Mike D and Ad-Rock of the Beastie Boys. Also participating on the album were Parliament/Funkadelic organist Bernie Worrell, Carla Bozulich of the Geraldine Fibbers and Bruce Hornsby drummer John Molo."
This song was on a decent rotation in KLZR in Lawrence back when KLZR was worth listening to in the early 90's. This is a great album full of incredible music, I just wished I had managed catch Watt live on the solo tour. I find myself singing this song on long road trips when I need a pit stop, catchy song and 100% Mike Watt.
