I freaked out when I saw all those articles with "British Industry
Pornographic" awards, because just the night before I did this
"mystery set", which no one knew the theme of. (It's not about
British industrial pornographic music, in case you were wondering.
The connection is very unambiguous tho. Brad Goins, John Hogge and
Katherine Nichols also contributed to the set.)

Anti-Scrunti Faction	Slave to my estrogen (7")
Leather Nun		Prime mover (7")
Amor Fati		No self (Rock 'n' roll 7")
			Death survives
Syd Barrett		Terrapin (The Madcap Laughs lp)
Jimi Hendrix		House of the rising sun (In the beginning lp)
PGR			Asleep in the shadow of the lion's cage 
			(The Flickering of Sowing Time lp)
Sonic Youth		Halloween (12")
Kannibal Komix		Little queen (lp)
Sun City Girls		Damcar (Grotto of Miracles lp)
David Bowie		Jean Genie (Aladdin Sane lp)
Sleep Chamber		Subterranean subhuman (Submit to Desire lp)
Bad Martyrs		Excerpt from side 1 (Pornographic Nightmare lp)
Kevin Dunn		Nadine (7")
Live Skull		Fort Belvedere (Cloud Nine lp)
Merzbow			Orient oxidation (excerpt from Ushi-Tra cassette)

So what is the connection between the songs? I'll post the solution in
a week if no one has guessed correctly by then. I repeat, the connection
is very unambiguous. How about it, you true eclectics out there (Greg
Earle? Grady Toss? Doug?)?

It would appear that the aforementioned mystery set is chiefly
marked in every case (however sliced, diced, chopped and channeled)
by the presence of the kind of grunting and groaning that we commonly
associate with acts of {proc,rec}reation. The tricky flatlander left
out the last (or next to last) Gennie P. single and Donna Summer.
Didn't bronski bleat cover "Love to Love You, Baby?" Did *they*
whine and carry on?

Of course, this is all just mere speculation....
