The first solo album by former Celebrity Skin singer Gary Celebrity -- who was known as Gary Jacoby back in the day -- basically picks up exactly where 1991's Good Clean Fun left off. Celebrity and guitarist/co-producer Pat Ruthensmear kick off with a so-straight-it-must-be-a-goof cover of the Kinks' "Celluloid Heroes" and then march directly into a reprisal of Celebrity Skin's poppy-glammy-punky roar.
