DESCRIPTION:
Another oddity.....From time to time in the '80s, I was called upon to play bass or guitar for a group called "Stutter", a loose-knit (to say the least) art/music collective led by a gentleman named Jim Adams. When possible, I would then make off with the raw rhythm tracks and dub on them at my leisure. On my first Stutter session, I was alone in the studio with drummer Dave Thomas (who had, as I recall, recently joined the band I was regularly playing with), and we followed Mr. Adams' somewhat arcane and non-musical written instructions as best we could (I seem to recall playing the bass with my feet at one point, but that may be a false memory). I subsequently dubbed guitar onto these basic tracks, and I don't pretend to have put much work into it.
Strangely enough, I was recently asked if I had any Stutter recordings that I could upload to YouTube. Well, this is it. Except for a vinyl record that I can't locate (and which I didn't play on), all I have of Stutter are my own little sketches.
The images are my usual wacky hodge-podge, assembled at random, or at least arbitrarily, which seems only appropriate. Fortunately, I have clips of Nazimova, Man Ray, Godzilla, and various scary monsters available at all times. Also: carpets, doors, furniture, dogs, cats, and antique pornography.
The first Stutter track, known to me only as "Stutter Rhumba" (which I associate exclusively with Bugs Bunny), was the basis for the Skull Of Glee song "Cannibals Gone Wild".
