MC Trachiotomy is a Louisiana character, a collaborator of the dreadful
Mr Quintron, whose albums
Robot Alien or Ghost (Rhinestone, 1999) and
W/Love from Tahiti (Bulb, 2002)
are rare collages of madness highlighted by
terrible production, drunk accent, sub-standard percussion and cryptic lyrics.
The latter (73 minutes long) defines a territory straddling
rap, spoken-word, psychedelic
rambling, Captain Beefheart-ian wackiness, lo-fi pop and the Residents' new-wave
operas (EKG, Along th' Coast, Bareboat Blessing).
The album is the musical equivalent of a hurricane, sweeping away
swamp blues (Form of Gardenias), free-form jamming
(Southpacific Weenie Coast), reggae balladry
(Now You Don't Know Where to Start),
hip hop (Palpitations), etc.
The comedian indulges in
spoofs of spy-thriller cocktail muzak (Midway Dining),
1940s' big-band swing (Drop Thkias Off At The Pool),
Broadway show tunes (Can You Feel It),
and late-night soft-jazz (Valentine).
The psycho ridicules music in the grotesque six-minute pantomime
Long to Hold You.
Stay Awake sounds like someone cooking an omelette while listening
to classical music on the radio. Yes, some of it is "that" musical.
The creative intensity of these albums is simply frightening.
