There are demos floating around, but they only contain Al's 
contributions; namely, middle C every 20 seconds or so, and a couple C 
sharps, during which you can hear Ed yelling in protest in the 
background.  However, those middle C's are well worth it.

I've got "Live '95 at Dale's Laundry a-go-go."  Fair-to-middling quality 
recording, but hearing the band play live is a real treat.  The live 
version of "Best Fuck in the Asylum" is really amazing.  The only real 
problem with the recording is that you hear the guy at the soundboard 
farting and watching Ren & Stimpy throughout.  He also sings along with a 
couple of the songs and you can't really hear Ed's vocals.  And the CD 
will only play on outdated GE stereos, but hey--if you're a true Strap-On 
fan, it's worth it.

I managed to get that one, paid fifty bucks. Most of it rocks, though. I 
think the R&S episode is "Space Madness," one of my favorites. I saw them 
play at Von Steuben High School's room 512, the Wood Shop Room. It was a 
bit cramped, but there was more space than at the Metro! I brought my 
Akai 24-track DAT recorder to make my own bootleg, but Ed saw me halfway 
through the show and threw an Ensoniq at me. Needless to say, I ran like 
hell. I managed to salvage my Akai, but i had a $200 mic that got 
trampled in the confusion. What I got of the bootleg is cool, and if you 
guys want copies, i can make them. However, there was a class going on at 
the time, and you can hear jigsaws and bandsaws buzzing in the 
background, and some teacher talking about router bits and miter-cutting.

I have heard that there might be a new remix album done mostly by Die 
Warzau, based on the songs of Antipsychotic. I also heard that Sascha 
Koneitzko may be connected with it, and that he may be doing a "rip

"Chem-Irritant Mix," And Richard James of Aphex Twin might be doing a 
mix of Radio Edit (Radio Edit) called Radio (Edit (Radio) Edit(dub))

Well I just happened to get my hands on the Live from the Penn Security 
Bank parking lot video. It's real short though. (about 15 minutes)  but 
definately a must-have. The parking lot was set up with cages full of 
livestock, and the show started off w/ Radio Edit, and the guys took the 
stage while "Only wanna be w/ you" was pumped through the sound board. 
Why is it so short? Well, as you should have heard by now, Al decided to 
get a little creative and halfway through the second song, he decided he 
wanted to add a few C sharps (and I swear I heard a B flat in there too). 
Well, that was it. And the famous riot then occured. Seven people dead, 
as well as four sheep and a chicken. This, of course, led to their arrest 
and it was at this point that the feds found Al's heroin stash, which led 
to even more problems for him. Anyway, teh video is a must have, as it 
includes the entire riot up until the point the cops showed up. I'm 
willing to make a trader for any other Strap-on merchandice. Feel free to 
e-mail me. Only serious inquiries need write.

Ed is supposedly getting a touring band together, One of the guys is 
Angus Macarthy, or something, and there's another guy on guitar, Roy 
Branagan,  cousin to Laura Branagan (of "Self Control," "Gloria" fame). 
Apparently, they are planning kickin' live version of "Self Control." 
They usually rehearse in Ed's hospital room, to the dismay of the 
patients and nurse staff. They'll probably go on tour after Ed awakes, 
but whether or not Al will be with them is still to be seen. They MIGHT 
have Al in the band, because I heard of something recently. There was 
supposedly a tour planned with:
Strap-On
Tool
Armageddon Dildos  
Revolting Cocks
Prick

Again, these are all just rumors.

How about "Your mother's butt doesn't exist"?  Or we could get H.R. Giger

You know, it's amazing, because I just heard a rumor that SO's next 
project (after the Big Fat Bag o' Crack EP, that is) is an album 
entitled _Calc Reform,_ which tackles these postindustrial, postcalculus 
issues head-on.  I think Al's laid down some C and C sharp demo's for a 
song called "Derivative Aneurysm."

Ed's word on the project is, "It makes sense.  We're already the most 
derivative band in the business."

> SO's only east coast fan,

I wouldn't be too sure about that...  Word is spreading.

I am sorry for any inconvenience I may have caused. I have just woken up 
from what seems to be a long sleep. Based on what little I can remember, 
all of my credit cards have been maxed out, and my bank account is dry. 
The bartender has tied me up and tossed me in a corner with a gag on my 
mouth. I know this because Angus told me. I have requested that Angus 
bring me my laptop (using head movements for morse code), and I have been 
able to log in using my nose. Please excuse any typing errors, as it 
takes too much effort to reach the backspace key (It does work, however). 

If it weren't for caps lock, I wouldn't even be able to make capital 
letters (don't even ask about the parentheses). 

Anyway, thank you all for your support of Strap-On, I am sure that Ed is 
grateful as well, but I have not been able to reach him. As soon as he is 
recovered, I am quite sure he will attempt to get the band back from Al 
Jourgensen, and we can be at your town soon. Thank you to Chris, of 
course for the support.

It is incredible being sober. I have never thought this clearly in my 
life. It is unusual to think that I was acting as goofily as Angus and 
everyone else, who are at the present moment attempting to sing a song, 
which sounds like a cross between "American Pie" and the "M*A*S*H" theme 
song. 

Thank you all.

I spent a while working on my computer, doing interesting things. There

a symphony using one of the crude music editing programs on my laptop 
and an old Beastie Boys CD. The Symphony is about and hour long, and by 
sampling bits of the CD, I've been able to synthetically reproduce about 
70 different instruments. I can't wait until someone unties me.

I've been able to get Angus over, and he promised to get the bartender to 
untie me, but only if he can hear my Symphony.

Well, I've got to go. I've got to get a few form letters typed up. I've

Hello all, ust something else for the rumour mill:

I've been hearing rumours down on this end from a bunch of crack whores 
down near the piers that Ed will be changing the name of Strap-On for two 
reasons:

1) In light of the Al mutiny, Ed was considering suing Al for the name, 
however, when face between the choice of Jacoby & Meyers or Lolla and 
Bubbles, he chose the latter pair, thus handicapping his funds and,

2) Because there have been people (such as myself) contemplating whether 
or not Strap-On is a "real" industrial band. Why? Because we all know 
that in order to be a "real" industrial band, you need a number in your 
name. I've heard that it may be changed to Strap-On 242 or Nine Inch 
Strap-On. 

Anyway, from what I've heard, if this is true, the backup band will be 
playing on both projects as it means more drugs and booze for them. So if 
anyone has any info on this, please keep me informed.

Thanx,
Jeff

P.S. Calc is the most worthless class I've ever taken in high school.

You go, Roy!  (Roy is serving as my legal adviser in my suit against 
Al Jourgensen.  He is a skilled lawyer as well as an amazing 
guitarist, composer, and drinker.)

As for touring musicians, I'm very happy with the live band as it 
stands now.  They're influencing the sound of Strap-On already.  Roy 
has gotten me heavily into his cousin Laura Branagan's music, and 
we'll definitely be doing covers of "Self Control" and "Gloria" on the 
upcoming tour.  Angus has been forcing me to listen to all this 
kick-drum music, so don't be surprised if you hear that influence on 
the Big Fat Bag o' Crack EP.  I don't know who we're going to get to 
drum for us at the moment, but for some reason I've had this craving 
lately for Wazerbowski sausages...

Oh, and there will also be a full gospel choir (to sing back-up for 
"Radio Edit") and at least two banjos.

You listen to this guy.  He knows his stuff.  I know people that know 
Chris knows his stuff.  If you don't believe me, I can make a phone call.

Al did actually find me originally.  I never liked the damn son of a 
bitch.  Didn't like sausages.  And I believe what my father told me about 
men who don't like sausage.  I can't repeat it in this newsgroup, though, 
it's pretty sick.

Yeah, Al found me in the gutter after my 25th birthday.  That was a 
terrible week.  After me and my whole family waited 4 days in the 
Emergency Room for me to have my Wazerbowski heart attack, I couldn't 
bare the sight of them again for some time.  Banished from the family 
business until I have my first heart attack.  Let me tell you, I was 
crushed.  I went out and ate sausages and doughnuts until I passed out on 
Clark.  Lucky for me Al found me just before sunrise, and only minutes 
before those big blue street-sweepers was about to suck my limpy body 
into it's wipers.

As soon as I met the reset of the band, though, I realized that 
somethingw as very wrong.  Know we all know what was missing: Ed.  I knew 
that damn freak Al couldn't _really_ be the head of Strap-On.  The band 
was just too damn industrial for Al to handle.

Anyway, as a side note, if you're in Chicago, and you have the chance (I 
heartily recommend it) stop by the Dominick's on Addison and Western.  
There's going to be a Wazerbowski Sausage Stand out side the front doors 
there.  Free tastes and everything.

Victory in the courtroom!
Al is down in the dumps, and soon he'll be left with nothing, not even the MEMORY of a 
band! Or side projects. I think it's time for Al to get down on his knees and
SUCK DADDY'S DICK!!!!!

I think it's time to celebrate. This calls for the special key, which opens the special 
liquor cabinet, which has the special bottle of JAGERMEISTER!

Join me, Robert!
Join me, Angus!
Join me, Ed!
Join me, Chris!

Soon we will revel in the victory that is Strap-on!

Hello, Strap-On fans.  Fuck all of you, okay?  This is Al, and I'm 
fuckin' pissed, alright?  I play middle C for this guy, I MAKE his 
fuckin' band, and what happens?  I get fucked over, that's what.

well, Ed won't get away that easily.  I've got the master tapes for 
all the middle C's and the C sharps on big fat bag o' crack, and 
homeboy's gonna hafta start from scratch.  

You're nothing, Ed.  Nothing but a meat snack.

But y'know, I'm glad I'm not part of it anymore.  It's a sell-out now.  
It's totally for the money.  That's not my scene.  You all have fun 
with your $trap-On.

this shit?)  (Buy Filth Pig.  it's at #99.) (i'm sorry about With 
Sympathy.) (Do bop bop bop.)

Subject: Strap-On more popular than Michael Bolton!

As of right now, there are 19 posts on alt.fan.michael-bolton, and 25 on 
alt.calc-reform (Strap-On's newsgroup).  Strap-On, the world's most 
industrial band in the world, are now more popular than Michael Bolton.  
Also, they are more popular than Debbie Gibson and Crispin Glover put 
together, and somewhat more popular than Skinny Puppy, if usenet posts 
are any indication.
