To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Green Day’s classic pop-punk album “Dookie,” Los Angeles art studio Brain has constructed extremely lo-fi versions of the songs in various formats and is selling one-off versions of them.
On the website Dookie Demastered you can also enter a drawing for $49 wireless doorbell that will play the intro of “Longview” in what sounds like tubular bells, a $39 8-bit version of “Welcome to Paradise” contained on a GameBoy cartridge, or a $49 wax cylinder version of “When I Come Around.” Perhaps the best is a $99 Teddy Ruxpin doll that sings “Chump.”
You can also listen to samples — ideally at top volume in a crowded office setting to annoy all your coworkers, or at least make them pine for their wasted teenage years.
Dookie Demastered: 15 tracks. 15 formats. The way it was never meant to be heard. 30 years later. Now available at https://t.co/MD6KjVSIus pic.twitter.com/1YlPUMyFSY
