...become a tragicomic oxymoron. In addition to the paraphernalia collection--which resembles nothing so much as a college dorm room circa 1975--there are photos of such icons of the day as Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs and Timothy Leary (twice!), as well as the shorter-lived Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix...

Granted, the group played a decent riff once in a while and certainly were not the worst bad ever to grace the dingy Paradise stage, but they were all but ignored. Even Jimi Haha, lead singer of Jimmie's Chicken Shack, picked up on the unfriendly vibe, saying towards the beginning of their set "Who's the best band at the BCN Xmas Rave? The World is My Fuse! Yeah! Who the fuck are those guys...
