Some Stupid with a Flare Gun by Ass Ponys
Some Stupid with a Flare Gun is an album by Ass Ponys, released in 2000. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 3 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Swallow You Down”, on 3 lists with a best position of #278.
Some Stupid with a Flare Gun, the Ass Ponys' fifth album, came out on April 11, 2000, on Chicago indie Checkered Past Records, with Brad Jones producing. The Cincinnati band swiped the title from a line in Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water", which is about the right level of sly for a group that mashes rock and country into its own off-kilter, back-roads Americana.
With Chuck Cleaver, Bill Alletzhauser and drummer David Morrison all aboard, it sounds like the work of a band hardened by national tours alongside the likes of Pavement and Throwing Muses. The songs lope and wobble and then bite. The album was named CD of the Year at the 2001 Cammy Awards, and "Swallow You Down" hung around on the countdowns for a few years afterward.
