The Red Sun EP is the soundtrack for a movie filmed in black and white then hand tinted orange. The plot mostly concerns a whining paranoid who thinks his supernatural talents, if revealed, will incite the town to hire a former slave named Hayzoos to slit his throat. Though the paranoid has no such talents, the deed is in fact attempted - but the slave fails, managing only to split his chin so that he looks like Glen Campbell. Short on budget, the film turns to special effects for its climax, a nuclear incident. Many small insects are used to portray factory women trying to figure out where to stash their mummified offspring. Shooting is repeated every day for two weeks at the time each day when the sun crosses the magnifying glass mounted over the factory. At every movement of each joint of six limbs of thousands of panicing factory women, pieces of chitin flake off and whirl upward, eventually clogging the cameras.
Many of the remaining songs are covers, so I don't understand very well what they're about. Roky Erickson's mother reportedly sent us a sweet postcard concerning one of the songs. like most of our memorabillia, however, I haven't seen it. The mothers of Robert Zimmerman and James Osterberg sent us nothing. To get over our disappointment, we covered a couple of our own songs and sent our own postcards. Or maybe we just developed a fast version of "Moonhead" because our set plodded so hideously.
We learned and recorded "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" for a local video show in St. Louis. We dedicate it to the whimsical Capuchin monks, whom I hope to visit again someday. "Munich Eunuch" was one of the songs we recorded under our name. It is about the only thing we've released with our first bass player, Kevin Staydohar.
Maybe you are buying this because you want just one or two songs on it. If it makes you feel any better, I'm having the same problem with old Lloyd Price albums. Let's both hope those one or two songs don't suck.
