about

Avant-punk with tape collage and found percussion. "I know its probably only performance art but I like it" went the review in Your Flesh. Contains the classics Truckhead, Some People Say I’m Building You a Nest, The Fashion Parade Goes Blust and more.

The first record on Wow Cool, from 1990, reconfigured from the original mixes with related bonus tracks.

The complete Broken Down Like a Bean recordings plus out-takes from an unreleased session recorded in 1991. Includes five bonus tracks that are not on the commercial release and are exclusive to Bandcamp.

"Fun packaging and abnormality on this 7", with a 12 page booklet to guide you through the nonsensical and spontaneous world of B.C.N. The five songs here range from the angular rock noisiness of "Truckhead," densely overlaying everything at hand, to the folky "The Fashion Parade Goes Blust," with strange images 'tracking mannequin heads through the dinerscape,' besides a song about astrochimps and a jam with a jig saw. The voices of Hanna Barbara cartoons are heard throughout, credited for inspiration and nurturing; drawings in this" —Factsheet Five 39, December 1990

Originally released October 1990

It really restores your faith in the restorative healing power of the sounds of a community of musicians, recorders, performers, and whatever the hell 'arbitrary labor' is. That thing is WEIRD.
