I heard One Potato on Prog Rock Deep Cuts last night.
So wonderfully whacked out.

How about a followup ?

How about a followup ?

The most bizarre thing is that I just talked to Chris on Saturday about this! Its all about logistics and jank. That's junk with an 'a'. Truth is I have a very few things on tape, but a bunch of stuff written on paper, and thought of getting that stuff to tape makes me squirm, and is like one giant migraine. Is it all worth it? Probably not, but we're gonna try. I'll post some pics later of these scores.

I'd love to see photos of the scores.

Can't believe I actually found this "lead sheet" and I also can't believe how long it took me to figure out how to shrink the jpg to fit here. Jeez Louise.

Thanks!

Top of the world! Finally bought this yesterday and must have listened to it four or five times already. Whatever you say about Cardboard Amanda, it is extremely entertaining, never boring and darkly humorous. Beyond the fun factor, there are actually so many moments of incredible beauty throughout.

Love the guitar & harmonica (“Picture Show” rules).
Love the pretty, pretty farm animals.
Love “Chair in the Air”, which could be a lost Amon Düül classic (sung by a robot) ca. Yeti/Lemminge .

PS: If you play “Pagoda Fey” backwards, it’s still backwards. WTF? Brilliant!

^Cheers sir! I very much appreciate that. Thanks for listening

Thank me for shopping at Walmart? No, thank YOU for working at Walmart!

Seriously, I can’t even imagine the work required to put such a project together (even if you had used a DAW). The best albums create their own microcosm and that’s just what you guys achieved. High art, sir!

Love the "total chaos" section.

Seriously...that cover. It's perfect if you don't want to move any units.

Move units? I'm sure that was job one in Frank's mind. Have you heard the album?

A true avant classic.

PS - I would venture that nobody has ever read the full "libretto" that goes along with this album (most likely because you didn't know such a thing existed). If you are brave and curious enough, it is posted here:

I'm just sorry that cover kept you from moving units. Otherwise, it would've been a surefire hit

I like it Dick. I give it a 10! It's got a good beat.

I would posit that it intrigued as many as it turned away. Hey, we're still talking about it, right?

[Plasmatopia]

Trust me, that cover moves units. Feeling a twinge now just talking about it.

[Scrotum Scissor]

I wonder if he can eat with the facemouth and barf it out again through the neckmouth while singing reversedly.

No publicity is bad publicity...well, maybe some is

Yes. Wait, do you mean re-eat the barf twice? Then yes.

Thanks again man. It was one part insanity that I'll never begin to explain in words and one part fun as hell.

Love the "total chaos" section.

Its the laziest way to compose - I don't know why more people don't do it

None of it is.
