| NEW SMEGMA CD RELEASE:
Artist: SMEGMA Rumblings....is the new CD from Smegma, The most psychedelic band EVER! Considered by many the kings and queens of American free noise, Smegma have been confusing minds since 1973 when they helped form the Los Angeles Free Music Society. They've recorded with everyone from WILDMAN FISHER to MERZBOW and more recently, with noise goons WOLF EYES. This disc is their first full length in nearly 10 years and also the first to feature vocalist / punk beatnik / BLUE OYSTER CULT lyricist RICHARD MELTZER. Rumblings is a sound collage of turntable manipulations, electronics, horns, bells, junk, toys, marijuana, and surf rock band. Smegma have been around forever and show no signs of slowing down. They just hopped off a killer west-coast tour with WOLF EYES, RUBBER O CEMENT and COMETS ON FIRE where they ripped the skulls off of everyone. CD contains a wikkid vid by Dr. Id. Grab this now!! Available HERE.

AMPS FOR CHRIST, SMEGMA, and 1 more TBA Amps For Christ are legends in the rarified world of radical folkcore. Personified by Man Is The Bastard alum Henry Barnes, AFC were among the first to combine the rich history of world folk music with the uncompromising harshness of noise; using Barnes' self-designed acoustic and analog noisemakers and traditional instruments from all points of the globe. Smegma were smashing the boundaries of established music while AFC were still chewing on their Speak-N-Spells.

SMEGMA, USA IS A MONSTER, and NEQUAQUAM VACUUM Whether you know it or not, Portland's finest musical treasure is a band of lunatics called Smegma. Manifesting their auditory sideshow in various arrangements since 1973, Smegma remains miles ahead of the pack, the Pink Floyd of weird. USA Is A Monster, then, are the T. Rex of weird; taking things a step beyond while adding back to the mix a dedication to Rock and Roll.

 THE COMPLETED SOUNDTRACK FOR THE TROPIC OF NIPPLES CD will be released by OFF RECORDS on June 4th, 2002. Here's the press release from the label's website: THE COMPLETED SOUNDTRACK FOR THE TROPIC OF NIPPLES In early 2002, indie rock legend Robert Pollard (the genius behind Guided By Voices) joined forces with Richard Meltzer (author of "A Whore Like All The Rest"; former music critic for Creem, Crawdaddy and the lyricist for Blue Oyster Cult) to create The Tropic of Nipples. This frightening meeting of minds, along with musical backing tracks from legendary 70's noise outfits Smegma and Antler created psychedelic, post-beat sonic freakouts and wonders. Due to the amazing response to the vinyl version of this release (THANK YOU ALL!!!) the pressing sold out before the release date and many are a weepin' still. Even more should still buy turntables. Robert Pollard, Richard Meltzer and Off Records are pleased to announce a limited edition cd-reissue of THE COMPLETED SOUNDTRACK FOR THE TROPIC OF NIPPLES - NOW WITH OVER 23 MINUTES OF NEW AND UNRELEASED MUSIC!! Included on this re-issue are exclusive tracks from Pollard (including a song written and recorded with Jim Shepard), the first cd appearance of Meltzer's earlier 70's punk incarnation Vom (featuring members of The Angry Samoans), a live recording from 1977 performed at Rhino Records and gee-ads more (new collage work from Pollard, a song written for and rejected by Blue Oyster Cult and so on). Indeed this stuff rocks quite hard (just ask Peter Buck-Vom's #1 fan-truly). And the icing on the cake: All orders made through Off Records mailorder will be autographed by Richard Meltzer himself! The man/The beast!!!! We are taking pre-orders now for a June 4th release. Thanks for all the support and look for some strange and exciting stuff coming this Fall from Off.
Track listing:
BONUS TRACKS (exclusive to this reissue): · Electrocute Your Cock · Tropic Of Labia · World's Coolest Rock Star · Too Animalistic · Revolver Tricks · Gotta · Punkmobile · God Save The Whales (Live At Rhino 12/77) · I Live With The Roaches· I'm In Love With Your Mom
