Sounds Like: The agua-eagle (with infinity genizaro goo-gool-ee eyes) perched on a circuit-bent cactus chanting a song of war (probably parti de mal). A computer crashing in the Himalayas only to be rescued by optimistic French Jesuits wearing poofy parkas. A guitar tied to a telephone pole, pierced with arrows, and tickled with an electric toothbrush. A tapedeck plugged into a dimmer in a pet store. Miklos Rosa on a drunken safari with an inept jazz band. El Monster del Charco singing in the shower. Drum set played by wind up chickens. French-kissing electronics. Babies at a car show. Parrots at the circuit city. Pigs at a poetry reading.
