Stupid By The Grace Of God

Chris, I promise I won't post your whole catalog. In fact, everyone, Chris, CEO of Assorted Porkchops, still has affordable items available, such as the outstanding Cornelius discography. Visit the website, which also notes an Assorted Porkchops 7"s compilation available in CD-R format.

The Wilmington, N.C., label issued some of my favorite 7"s of the 1990s entire, starting with the four-song Stupid By The Grace Of God compilation released in 1991. As described by the label:

one song each by bedlam hour, tonka, toast and unherd. the bedlam hour track is testament to mosh metal and monster cereals. tonka pop it up with a fast low fi tune. toast are poppy as well in that sweet baby/papa smurf sort of way. unherd rockout with their own brand of d.c. influenced post punk.

It's actually one of my favorite Unherd songs, though the highlight, for me, has always been Bedlam Hour's use of the line, "These are a few of my favorite things."

Enjoy.
