Kommissar Hjuler and Mama Baer - Amerikanische Poesie und Alkoholismus ()

180 Gram LP Edition of 500 Officer Hjuler of the Flensburg police, and his wife Frau Baer are two of contempo sound poetry’s most prolific propagandists. They have released a huge pile of artist records on their own label, and have also had releases on Ultra Eczema, Blossoming Noise, Blackest Rainbow, Gold Soundz and elsewhere. This is their first American LP, and pairs an earsplitting lecture on sound poetry on the A side and a paean to the state of American Alcoholism. One of the most amazing and consistent releases in their discography, this is a splendid place for anyone to dip their toes into the pair’s idea of sonic construction. An incredible document. “Amerikanische Poesie… is the duo at… Read more »

M2 - At Land's Edge

M2 - At Land’s Edge ( / )

LP Edition of 300 BANDCAMP! M2 is an East Coast-based duo comprised of two of the legendary Miller brothers, namely Roger and Ben. They have previously appeared together in such bizarrely protean ensembles as Sproton Layer and Destroy All Monsters, but they are probably best known for their work in autonomous formulations. Ben, most recently with the Glenn Branca Ensemble, Roger with Mission of Burma (and all who sail with them). The music on M2’s debut LP, however, is far from any of the rock-related moves with which they’ve associated in the past. Both have serious bonafides in experimental/improvised sound, of course, but these take a new leap with At Land’s Edge. Roger is playing heavily prepared piano – something… Read more »

Body/Gate/Head - Glaring Luring Yo - OUT OF PRINT

Body/Gate/Head - Glare Luring Yo ( / )

Body/Gate/Head  “Glare Luring Yo” LP Edition of 300 OUT OF PRINT! BANDCAMP! In the spring of 2011, Michael “Powderfinger” Morley was in the U.S. for a short visit. There had been some talk of doing a Gate show or two, but when he visited Western Mass, we decided to put use to his collaborative talents. He played one night at the Yod space in Florence with Kim Gordon and Bill Nace, then at Feeding Tube with Spencer Yeh and Meg Clixby. Both sets provided jumbo pleasure, and Michael managed to record the Yod set for our presentation to you. Kim and Bill were at the beginning of their duo explorations at this point. Can’t even remember if they’d started using… Read more »

Orchid Spangiafora - Flee Pasts Ape Elf - OUT OF PRINT

Orchid Spangiafora - Flee Past’s Ape Elf ()

Edition of 700 with 2nd record of material not on original 1979 release. OUT OF PRINT! Splendid, expanded reissue of this monster album, which most people know from its placement on the NWW List. Stapleton even went so far as to name a track (“Fashioned to a Device Behind a Tree”) after a mis-hearing of one of Flee Past’s’ many memorable lines. The music has its roots in Hampshire College’s Electronic Music Studio in the early 1970s. While taking a class on Electronic Composition, Robert Carey was smitten by the potentialities lurking inside piles of reel-to-reel tape. Presented with a stack of such stuff, mostly recorded off of television, he began an epic stumble into the universe of musique concret…. Read more »

Gary Wilson - Lisa Wants To Talk To You - Out Of Print

Gary Wilson - Lisa Wants To Talk To You ()

Gary Wilson “Lisa Wants TO Talk To You” LP Edition of 500 OUT OF PRINT! Vinyl actualization of a Gary Wilson originally released as a CD in 2008. The second of Feeding Tube’s Wilson retrievals (following last year’s Forgotten Lovers), we consider this the most solid of Gary’s post-revival albums. While it goes in a slightly different musical direction than the deranged porn-lounge inventions of You Think You Really Know Me (the classic ’77 LP, heisted in toto by Beck during his Odelay phase), the naif-ache of the lyrics and the music’s laid-back bowling-alley-funk-thrust reveal unending vistas of pure pleasure. Wilson’s vision and performance approach are absolutely personal and shockingly naked. Like other true outsider artists (from the Shaggs to… Read more »

Greg & Ted - Love Wind and Failure

Greg & Ted - Love Wind and Failure ()

Editon of 250 Absolutely bizarre in their focused simplicity, Greg & Ted make music out of thin air. “Maybe funded by institute in which they reside? Or perhaps just plain serious art? Musique brut that’s what it is. Actually I enjoyed the total weirdness of it.” – – Vital Weekly 180 Gram LP Picture Disc OUT OF PRINT!

Zebu - Hookers in Sweatpants

ZEBU! - Hookers In Sweatpants ()

CD ZEBU!’s first attempt at the great studio album of all time is truly a classic of the Feeding Tube canon. Featuring some of the most lasting songs of the ZEBU! repertory, each song is a crazy blueprint of the band in its embryonic stages. Produced by Jonathan Granoff and recorded by Nathan Rosborough in a basement in RI, Steve plays banjo, tracks are written on the spot, and genius occurs. Ted says “What? It’s freakin in a gold bag!”
