Mostly non-musical ultra-lo-fi noise, noodling, plunderphonics, and stream-of-consciousness word salad by Dead C guitarist Michael Morley of New Zealand, this homemade cassette was apparently selling for upwards of $70 a copy before being properly released on vinyl in 2020 (limited to 300 copies, just in case). Note that while the track-listing might suggest that many of the songs might be covers of similarly-named tracks from the Talking Heads' "Fear of Music" LP, this is absolutely not the case, though the album does "pick up" a little bit in terms of listenability once the similarly-named songs begin midway through the album. Though I could discern practically no comedic lyrical content or funny sound-gags, this is apparently still highly-regarded by the no-wave/anti-music contingent, and you can now hear the whole thing on Youtube if you're not quite sure you want to shell out for the physical artifact just yet. (Ultimately you will though, because you simply can't help yourself.)
