  "One night Johnson, Coley and I were sitting in the backyard with a bucket of
fresh sangria and a few bongloads of some very righteous boo.  I'd brought out
a box of my live Sonic Youth tapes amd we were arguing about Ranaldo's tongue
vectors in the third quadrant of "Society Is A Hole" [Folk City, NYC 12/1/82]
when one of T. moore's downstrokes caught our attention.  We ran the tape back
and listened to the passage a few times.  The subtly monsterous and mindless
GUSH with which T.Moore hit the "E" chord made it obvious that his playing
was not coming out of a complete spiritual void.  This ws a real revelation. 
It meant that he was capable of actually unclenching his brain and loosing
demons of soul creativity.

  Because we hate to see anyone lackeyed to jive-ass pop structure, white-man-a
-motionalism, a plan was immediately spun for freeing T.Moore from the shackles
of Peggy Lee descended dogshit that were obviously choking off his TRUE HUMAN
FORCE.  Deciding which human cudgels might best be weilded against those
procedural chains was a lead pipe cinch.  Who but Jim Sauter and Don Dietrich?
These two men are the freest, loudest, swinginest white motherfuckers to ever
jaw cleave an industrial strength reed.  Their work with Borbetomagus has long
been a raucous fountain  of tonal explosion and aesthetic purity, as well as a
black fisted glove up the diz of all conservative musical architects.  If
anyone could blow the lock off of T.Moore's creative emo-safe, Jim and Don were
it.
    The rest was a snap.  I had my agent get in touch with allthe parties.  She
explained the points of our proposal in no  uncertain terms.  The results are
presented right here.  Two free men meet a slave.  Everyone goes home barefoot.
Right fuckin' on.
