Bob Dinners and Larry Noodles Present Tubby Turdner's Celebrity Avalanche is the final album by Thinking Fellers Union Local 282, released in 2001 through Communion Records.[8]
Production
Akin to past albums, the band recorded hours of rehearsals and then cut and pasted together musical passages to create songs.[9]
Critical reception
SF Weekly called the album "the band's most layered recording yet, with no shortage of keyboards, overdubs, vocal harmonies, and perplexing noises."[10] The East Bay Express wrote that "strange and ordinary instruments converge to make a blend of music that is at once identifiable but yet vastly different from anything you've ever heard before."[9]Portland Mercury wrote: "Stooges riffs clash with mechanical clicks; quivering melodies frame John Bonham-style percussion blasts, then melt Velveeta-smooth into cracked-out vocal asides."[11]CMJ New Music Monthly wrote that "an immense, haunting radiance erupts from [the band's] tortured instruments."[12]
