TOOTHPASTE SANDWICH



here's one for the masochists:

Ian C Stewart "Toothpaste Sandwich" MP3

From my third-ever 'album', Mucho Papa, recorded in April & May 1987. The Synsonics kept time while I tried my best to get through an entire song without stopping to tune or to play an out of key guitar solo. Unsuccessfully.

I still gots one of the SynSonics if you ever need one for inspiration. (I was thinking that you had 2 of them and gave me one and saved one for yourself)

Were you running the guitar through that old stompbox that ran on 1 AA battery that I had to fix a few years back? You wrote 'metal masher' or something on it in green floro paint if I remember correctly.

Did you have a 4 track at that point or were you having to record using the two mic inputs on the stereo?

Nice 'toggle' on the vocals at the end. That was the best part of that song Ah---ah----ah---- oo----o-----ooo!!! Rock!

I don't think I would like a toothpaste sandwich. I usually need some mayo on my sandwiches and I have the feeling that mixing toothpaste and mayo would not be a good thing to do.

fzzy recollections

FZZY PMPR came about after I bought a used desktop PC that was curated by ECC's Mark Gunderson. 
 He loaded it up with the entire internet circa 1996 with every game, oddity and software package ever, along with some ECC ephemera. I eventually started experimenting with audio editing programs like Cool Edit and the like, trying to do "cut ups" of my own, which were just failed sound experiments really. Eventually I crafted an album of sample-based material, which was the Samarkand album "Continua". Eventually the megalomania took focus and a la Evolution Control Committee, Samarkand became FZZY PMPR which had as its members, what, DJ Arse and others, I think?

Megalomania gave way to regular mania and today it's not even a memory! That's the way Huntington's Disease works, I start off with this bossy, overpowering and seductive uhh drive to just point out every single thing in the universe which gradually cools until it's like it never even happene…
