Stick to the Script

The musical pranksters variously known as Caroliner Rainbow or Rubber O Cement love to package their recordings in scary trashy exteriors, such as Depends undergarments, boxes full of municipal trash, and blood-spattered sandpaper. Most of their recordings until 2002 were made using 19th-century wire recorders, since they claimed to be channeling the ghost of a singing bull named Caroliner who toured the Chautauqua circuit during railroad-boom days, singing of monetary theory and the Gold Standard. But now it's a financial crisis, so the latest Caroliner/Rubber O cultural statement comes packaged in a 90-page screenplay. No, I haven't read the script yet.

Black Moth Super Rainbow

BMSR stumbled through Colorado for the first time the weekend of Sept. 15. In full regalia with stage props, they are like the bastard child of Caroliner Rainbow and Sunburned Hand of the Man. Here, they are stripped down in the studio, and are without the talents of Maureen "Seven Fields of Aphelion" Boyle. Still, you get the idea. Fun stuff!
