Call this my Gene Wilder tribute, I suppose. One of the most talented actors I have ever seen in film passed away this year - the star of some of my favorite movies: Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, The Producers, and of course, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. The book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was one I read countless times growing up, and I've seen the movie about as many times. When I heard Primus was doing a song-for-song remake of the soundtrack, in classic Primus style, I knew I had to have it. The vinyl comes in (what else?) chocolate, and of course, there were five golden records as well. The prize? Hanging out with Les and boys because you just won free Primus concert tickets for life. As you can see, mine did not contain golden vinyl. This is seriously one of the best musical projects ever - if you like Primus, and you like Willy Wonka, it's a must have. It's trippy, weird, and all that you would think it would be.
