Mr. Velocity Hopkins

"s/t" CD (BLB-008) $10.00
UPC#: 6-1518-79008-23

In conjunction with Insignificant Records

For a long time now this record existed as nothing more than myth. A rumor circulated thru the record biz for some time that Bulb Record's Mr. Velocity Hopkins finally went TOO far and there existed an acetate documenting his irrevocable demise. There was a six-month period before these recordings, Mr. Velocity Hopkins Family member, Aaron Dilloway (Hanson Records impresario), revealed, "where Velocity was draggin us into these truly upsetting circumstances at gigs where he d invite these Haitian voodoo lords on stage, sometimes Navajos or Iroquois. Our allergies reacted severely to their emagic dust but for Velocity it numbed his frontal lobes, man, a pure animal frothing all over his frets. This record, which I still hope gets nixed as a release, is the consummation of our allergy-induced hell and Velocity as a modern day six-string shaman. It broke the Family up in the process." For this final ritual Hopkins needed men (or multi-instrumentalists, if you will) possessing nerves made of titanium or at least Pyrex to conjure up this 22-song, 26-minute blast of metallic-fried oompah-oompah circus music. Several members of the Hanson Records clan (in addition to Dilloway) descended into the vortex as well as one Weezel Walter (Flying Luttenbachers, Lake of Dracula). The Bay of Pigs ended in dead Cubans, broken promises, no air support and a secret hatred for a good-looking Irish guy who is sleeping with your ex. Similar to the current scene involving a friend of mine and his girlfriend. This is both their soundtracks. --Justin Farrar, failed boyfriend and friend of failed boyfriends The Dead C did their version of Fleetwood Mac's Tusk (which is easy because Mick and Stevie stopped sleeping with each other by then.) now let Insignificant and Bulb bring you Hopkins noiz-eee( mind you, not noise music but the rock, just like Slade's "Mama, We're All Crayzee Now") version of the Mac's classic Rumors LP.

press

Mr. Velocity Hopkins "s/t" CD - "This US spoof noise project centres on the mysterious Mr. Velocity Hopkins, not a single entity but a bunch of unknowns who incontinently namecheck acts like Quintron, Jim O'Rourke, US Maple and His Name is Alive. The music is equally confused, a mixture of Japanese noise, 60's free jazz squawk and flyblown punk rock. Halfway through the bloated phantom of Eugene Chadbourne playing his electric rake comes into earshot - or so they wish - only to be rapidly replaced with a bout of inept yet endless finger shredding guitar thrashing. Very funny."- Edwin Pouncey, The WIRE, January 2000
