Velveeta Heartbreak: Don't Forget The Cheese


Michael J. Bowman is back with a brand new best-of compilation for Cut And Paste. It's called Don't Forget The Cheese: MJB '89-'92, and it's being released under his new moniker Velveeta Heartbreak.


When I ran out of his Plastic Memories cdr for my mail-order catalog, I asked MJB to send me some more copies, and instead he compiled this new best of, and it's sweet. These 16 awe-inspiring tracks were recorded at home, and originally released on cassettes. Here's the track listing:


1. Alaska (2:50)
2. Seven Rays (4:34)
3. Psychedelic Afternoon (3:15)
4. Take A Trip (To The Other Side) (2:53)
5. The Apartment (3:09)
6. Walkman (3:42)
7. Dissolving Youth (2:26)
8. Cocktail Time (3:34)
9. Dressed To Kill (4:17)
10. Beach Ball (1:57)
11. The VJ Said (2:54)
12. The Dalai Lama Loves You (2:45)
13. The Rabbit Soldiers (1:52)
14. Sleepytime At Mission Control (2:53)
15. In My Head (3:50)
16. Brighter (2:11)

All songs/sounds/instruments/vocals by MJB, with a little help from Paul Rose, who played guitar on Alaska and In My Head, and Arak, who played bass and acoustic guitar on Take A Trip.

As always, it's $5.00 postage paid from Cut And Paste. Make checks or money orders payable to Ray Carmen and send to: Cut And Paste, POB 152, Green, OH 44232 USA.
