SYMPTOM OF THE UNIVERSE

existential dread, subjective media and news reviews and opinionated but not necessarily well-informed commentary.

Meat Language

Formed in 1988 by Moo R. (Glenn) Squiddles (nee Lupus Hercules) and Zot Q. (Yours truly) Bathwadda the band recorded more that 20 albums (without rehearsals, practice, or musical ability, or without any real thought to writing anything really) and more songs than a GBV show, but with less coherence to reality.

Other members included Yamda (Claudia) Clamannoyance, Yamir (Dave) The Giant Cigar, Mitch (?), The Schmutz (Zo), and the prominently howling “Thing that must howl prominently!” (Roka)

By the 7th or 9th album (But defiantly not the 8th) the band changed the spelling of it’s name to Meat Langwij, though most people, not even Moo were aware of that, I just came across a tape with that written in colored pencil so I’m assuming that’s what happened.

The band; spawned from the infamous Corn Hole (Later “Cock Nazi and the Abundant Fantail Shrimp Abortions” which I was part of on stage for 45 minutes (Not as Cock, mind you, Cock left and the band changed it’s name from Plug Bunnies Inc., then to Lump, or something like that, last time I talked to “Cock” he was teaching H.S and Rikers Island and going on to better things in the NYC School District). From Meat Language came Froot (Glenn, Dave, Alex, Me) Lobster (Maps) and the even shorter lived Brain Damage Weiosbeski, a band so short lived they actually lived shortly in between recording the 10th, 11th and 12th Meat Language Albums which were all on the same tape. There was also an album with Glenn, Me and Louie (Cock) which had no name but included “The People of the Earth” (They’re all gone now)

Album names I can remember
1)
2) Nose Potatoe (sic)
3) Attack of the Killer Rabbi’s named after Phone Equipment
4) Take it to Brian’s Lung (Brian from Corn Hole actually)
5) Toilet Tissue Rampage Victims
6) Yonta (imaginary Swedish word for Knapsack Revelation)
7– 25 ? Glenn?

Song names
I’ll come back to this

Also my Dad; Sgt. Jimmy 3000 Sr. (No longer on this particular Earth) appears by accident on “Cello’s for Jello’s
“I can’t hear you! You can’t hear me! Your mother made a whole shitload of chicken!”
“I told you, I already eaten!”

Trivia:
What was the instrument that wisped wisp-fuly in the second installment of “Master Moose Theater”?

The Tour-De-Force “Let’s Eat” was inspired by me being a bastard and not feeding Glenn so his blood sugar would drop and he would get violent, which he took out on my Guitar.
