Music For Swingin' Transmission Swappers!
Music For Swingin' Transmission Swappers!-October 2024

After hearing the yesterday, I remembered that my old industro-noise band, , recorded a song entitled "Chrysler New Yorker."

Unfortunately, "Chrysler New Yorker" only exists on four-track cassette tape, and my ol' Tascam Porta 01 died years ago. That means you don't get to hear that fine song, which thrilled dozens of Japanese college radio fans during the late 1980s. What you do get is the "music video" for the Murilee Arraiac song "Hajoi Hotai," which features the circa-1990 replacement of a 2-speed Powerglide with a junkyard 3-speed in a 1965 Impala. That's me with the Plumber Butt on the right left, and my friend on the right. Note ChunkyDeath's innovative "floor jack leg pump" maneuver.
