i have a copy, and i wouldn't say "hidden" as much as i might say "grooved
in triplicate". would anyone else like to point me to more *ahem* john
giorno? (che mistakenly credited guison (sp?) while "you're the guy..."
actually features john giorno's brand of tape manipulated poetry) on the
giorno poetry systems label no less.
"i'm standing at the sink washing the dinner dishes with a plastic sponge..."
giorno: the only texan poet worth listening to.
anyhoo, along the groove line, pwl pop dance cornballs scarlett fantastic
did a double groove 12" for their uterrly useless "plug me in". side by
side grooves are a cool trick, with a crap record like the aforementioned
the best part is breaking out the razorblade for the exclusive "remix"
between the two tracks.
this is one pressing trick i'm suprised i don't see more of. is it a dj
friendliness issue?
this has a tenuous connection to my theory: the crappier the music, the more
gimmicks needed (colored vinyl, locks, packaging, picture discs etc.) of
course this doesn't apply to all trick records, but you do see it happen a
lot with a lot of substandard music...
now: "slicker this year" digable planets. sophomore effort wins again
(neglected due to lack of gimmicks?)
and why not?
