maura's milk chocolate bath
available for free download from bad taste.somewhere between cut&paste/collage & "hardcore"/noise, with enough elements of both to alienate purist fans of either. laugh as st! slices apart pop culture to explore the links between sex, food, & bathing! drool at the glossy, full-color pop-erotic artwork! ponder how st! got a real woman to pose topless for said artwork! sometimes noisy, sometimes raunchy, & consistently silly, this cd might make you feel dirty. but will you feel dirty enough to wash up in a giant tub full of cocoa-flavored cereal?
- 1. bathtime fun
- a nice little bathing collage, as heard on hour of slack #810 & bricolage #1.
- 2. boo!
- the main part of this collage was taken from the angela anaconda halloween song "i'm gonna scare you", as taken from the cd general mills & fox family present 13 days of halloween: rhythm & boos (included free inside select boxes of big G monster cereals. i got my copies from boo-berry). as heard on hour of slack #844 & bricolage #1.
- 3. chex squadron vs the cereal eaters
- even though it was written first, "get me out of this gunk" could be considered part 2 of this track. at any rate, "gunk" sure doesn't seem on-theme until you've heard this bit of setup.
- 4. crunch!
- a cereal piece with a beat, as heard on hour of slack #s 818 & 819.
- 5. skin to win
- this nudity collage actually has a tight little breakbeat that comes in for a few seconds occasionally. featured on hour of slack #856.
- 6. catwoman cleans herself
- this one kind of stretches the theme a bit, but it's fun.
- 7. out of the box
- made using samples & data from a demo version of radio disney music mix studio, included free in select boxes of rice krispies.
- 8. baby got ribs
- i like big ribs & i cannot lie.
- 9. snap crackle pop music
- the nature of this collage should be self-explanatory.
- 10 whole grain goodness
- a dense, soupy mass of cereal commercials. good luck, trainspotters.
- 11. war of the selfish mascots
- cereal commercials & a very special episode of the powerpuff girls. the beats were made exclusively using powerpuff sound effects.
- 12. live-in butler
- originally composed for the may 3 show in belvidere il, then adapted for this cd... booty house, army training films, internet breakbeats, a bit of data... oh yeah, & mr belvedere.
- 13. supercharge breakfast
- the first all "instrumental" track of the album, this was created using only 20sec or so of data from the chex quest game.
- 14. candy rapper
- what do grace slick, the flintstones, & aqua teen hunger force have in common? um...
- 15. saturday morning sloppy seconds
- a little ditty that runs back through the major themes of the cd, & briefly revisits a few familiar samples as well. shows the subtle links between mushy cereal, bathing, & taking off your clothes (pants).
- 16. get me out of this gunk!
- consists of samples & data taken from the doom-based first-person-shooter game "chex quest", included several years ago in select boxes of chex cereals. could very well be the last track on the album.
