Abrasive, punk, no-wave noise from the Seventies that barely registered a blip on the historical continuum, yet deserved so much more. Songs like the title track, "Mayonnaise, Bored Stiff", and "Bad Teeth" are sounds from the wasteland that was lower Manhattan at the time. Strangely enough, this double CD also includes some of drummer/synthesist's Randy Cohen's recordings on a Serge synthesizer (called "the peoples' synth" here suggesting a price differential that made it more affordable than Moog and Buchla instruments, yeah, right!!!). Some of these tracks are joined by voice, sax, electric viola and guitar (I think?), and take several interesting detours without ever seeming the least bit academic. Punk, maybe?
