about

My original prose piece recited along with or overdubbed on a jam session, a sado-masochist fantasy of sorts. This is me doing the poem this time (Evan). We hadn’t yet discovered the underground cassette culture’s fascination with sado-masochism, so this came out of my dark imagination unbidden. It’s sort of an introduction to a murder-horror-mystery that was never intended to be written. What was the meaning of a “blanket bought in Texas with longhorn steers upon it”? I have no idea in retrospect, but I can tell you that there has long been animus in Colorado about Texans coming and crowding and over-developing ski areas. I used to see the following poem scrawled on men’s rooms walls: “Here I sit, buns a’flexin’, givin’ birth to another Texan”. I’ve got nothing in particular against Texas myself, other than it’s mostly flat, either hot as a freakin’ hell sauna or steam-room depending on whether you’re in East or West Texas. This originally appeared on the "Johnny Rocco" cassette release, credited to the faux-group Psychotic Bozos.

Walls Of Genius

Fried psychedelia, relentless experimentation, hunter-gatherer improv, space rock doom, heavy rock monumentalism and daffy cover tunes. Walls of Genius rips holes in the fabric of space and time, kicks you in the ass and leaves you smiling. 80s stalwarts of the cassette culture, they're back in the 21st century. The most unique band that ever was. Really! ... more
