Camper Van Beethoven Wasting All Your Time Album: Camper Van Beethoven Is Dead. Long Live Camper Van Beethoven
Genres: Alternative
‘80s indie jokers get silly in the studio, then release the recording ten years after they’ve broken up. Do they pull it off or are they just wanking off? |

No matter how great a band is, it always has some recordings better left in the vaults. Camper Van Beethoven is no exception, as this lame bit of ephemera demonstrates. There’s a mite of a song buried in the off-kilter reggae beat and guitar riff, but good luck finding it. The chorus, “We’re all wasted and we’re wasting all your time,” proves a brutally honest assessment of this unfunny in-joke. Unless you’re a Camper Van completist, don’t bother.

A great song to have in the background around 4 in the morning when "We're all wasted and we're wasting your time" but other than that situation, this song probably isn't going to be that entertaining.
