I wonder if this song is a cover, considering it's credited as written by Tuli Kupferberg of The Fugs, and the album has a whole bunch of other covers. Although apparently Mark Kramer played on tour for The Fugs previously, so might've just used the connection.
Also fun fact, Kramer was before in New York Gong with Bill Laswell and Michael Beinhorn, who later were known as Material; and he also played with Butthole Surfers, Ween, Half Japanese (and personally Jad Fair), John Zorn, Penn Jillette and Debbie Harry. And did production for such folks as Galaxie 500, White Zombie, Gwar, and Daniel Johnston. Bongwater also employed Fred Frith on some records, who was in Massacre and Laswell's other projects, and on some of Zorn's records. It's remarkable to see how tight and rich in talent the eighties-nineties New York scene was.
Kramer did a lot of music, both playing and producing. But the pairing with Ann Magnusson was somehow perfect imo.
Oh yeah. I'm primarily a fan of Bill Laswell since mid-2000s, and it took me about five years to listen through most of his discography — I've definitely still missed some. Meanwhile Michael Beinhorn also has hundreds of credits. It's basically a full-time job to dig through that scene.
