To Live and Shave in L.A. 2 : The 300 Dollar Silk Shirt

2007-03-16T10:28:00.000-07:00

finally, X + Z = 0 released in co-operation with ugXPLODE the shave 2 CD,rumoured to come out in 2001, but finally the insanity got out here in 2007 to welcome it as an archival release.

Words are hard to say except its still insane and scratching my brain after all these years, despite the delay and my adventures in mental space, i finally brought back the idea to put this out, Weasel putted the artwork together and wrote linernotes.

here are some words/views of the people that were involved
"78 minutes of studio recordings from the renegade "FREE GLAM" troupe featuring Weasel Walter, Rat Bastard, Misty Martinez, Nondor Nevai and special guest Om Myth! Perverse, intense, hyper-psychedelic stream-of-consciousness group improvisations channeled through futuristic production processes. This record is an intense trip - a mash-up of gut-wrenching instrumental onslaught and bizarre wordsmithy. This is the complete story of the Shave 2, finally available after almost 7 years."(ugEXPLODE)

"Yes, the hatchet has indeed been buried, and with hearts a-flutter we are pleased to assist Mr. Weasel Walter in presenting the homage/bootleg/rebuke/hubris-pummeled freak-platter depicted above. Its latter half a WNUR-FM studio session from TLASILA's 1999 American tour, the majority of its sleeve acreage festooned with snaps from that same, blood-splattered trek, with an ever-so-slightly skewed central thesis (that Mark Morgan [Sightings], Elyse Perez [Costes, Cock ESP], and the late Gerard Klauder [dozens of warped aggregations] somehow lacked "distinction"), 300 Dollar fairly cries out for help. Despite and because of those determinedly contrary ironies it's a must-own recording and a bracing reminder that whatever you're listening to probably 1) sucks, and 2) desperately needs to be radically detourned, remixed, or immediately tossed into the nearest incinerator. Please, buy as many copies as you're able to afford, and keep these bug-eyed, Raid-huffing orphans off the mean streets of Yourtown, USA! You don't want this thug of an album wandering around your rose gardens at dusk... As for the mastermind behind TLASILA 2, well, Weasel is insane, sure, the very nonpareil of onanistic self-absorption. But he's also dead brilliant. We'll work with his crazy ass anytime, anywhere. Once in TLASILA, always in TLASILA 2..." (tom smith's view written on the to live and shave in l.a. myspace)
