I made this CD-R for the performance I did in with Grunt in March of 2004. It was a limited edition of 31, hand-numbered on the CD, packaged in a slimline case.

This is a collection of unreleased live recordings and solo works.

    Tracks: 
  1. Creep
    (7:22)

    This is a live version of "Creep," a song from the upcoming Desperate album. It was recorded the second time I played the Sine Qua Noise radio show, hosted by Ariel Salomon on WMBR 88.1 FM.

  3. Live at Thee Crooked Haus
    (7:39)

  4. Her Vagina Smells Bad, Mommy
    (9:35)

    This song also appeared in a truncated form on the Bostonnoise.org compilation, The Way We Do Things In Boston.

    The "bleep" noises are made with a RedSound Darkstar synth. Most of the noise is made with my broken turntable. The loop is from a children's record of "Alice in Wonderland," pressed onto red vinyl, that I picked up on the cheap at a New York yard sale. The whine is made by letting the distortion and delay units feed back on the board, then interrupting it with heavy breathing through my CB mic.

  5. Successful Abortion via Repeat Abdominal Trauma
    (4:44)

    From the anti-choice movie Silent Scream:

    "The abortionist first introduces the most slender of these instruments to dilate the cervix, turns the instrument around to a slightly larger end, introduces that end, and then works his way through the various graduated, increasingly larger ends of this dilating instrument. He will then takes the instrument known as the suction apparatus ... (T)his will be inserted through the dilated cervix, up into the uterus, and will then puncture the sack surrounding the child, allowing the amniotic fluid to escape. The instrument then will come into direct contact with the child, and with a pressure of approximately 55 or so millimeters of mercury ... the suction tip will then begin to tear the child apart.

    "The pieces of the body are torn away one by one, until finally all that remains are the shards of the body and the head itself. The head will be too large to come through this instrument itself. This will necessitate the introduction of an instrument called a polyp forceps into the uterus through the already dilated cervix, and the abortionist will then attempt to grasp the free floating head of the child in the uterus between the rings of this instrument. The head is then crushed, the contents of the head removed, and finally the bones of the head, and the abortion is then effectively at an end."

    For the record, I am rabidly pro-abortion.

    Recorded in the winter of 1999

  6. War Crimes
    (11:43)

    The noise portions are sampled machines of war, played on my old DSS-1. The samples are done on an old cassette 4-track, edited and mixed down by hand. Most are taken from porn videos, Ilse movies, and Polanski's Death and the Maiden.
