Painful Defecation - songs about Jesus sampler (cassette)



I recently received a small parcel from local underground comic book  legend Kurt Beaulieu. He send me a small zine and an audio tape. `Painful Defecation`  is senior Beaulieu`s  own solo noise \ experimental noise project. I have maybe five or six different Painful Defecation CD`s at my home. Even though I`m open to almost everything, I`m not a particular fan. The CD`s are full of songs (which is a good thing) but most of said songs are too short and seem to fall apart. They sound like samples or rough drafts i.e. unfinished pieces. This is a hsort cassette (under 23 minutes) with seven tracks. Here`s a small description of what`s in store for us….
1- le docteur Manta reapparait: meditative ambient noise (recalls Forbidden Planet soundtracks at times).
2- grunderzeit: alien experimental muzak & low-fi beats (simply adorable).
3- Sonia et Lilly; low-fi beats colliding with weird noise bytes and processed voice (welcome to strangeland brothers and sisters).
4- german sex (pedo bear mix); ambient noise done with various processed sounds.
5- la seconde venue de Maurice Papon: peaceful, yet meditative ambient noise.
6- mormor, mor, mor, mor: more ambient noise.
7- blorp exz: low-fi electroacoustic noise maybe?
I`m impressed, this is the best Painful Defecation album. All the songs are pretty damn amazing, they flow well together, highly recommended. I wonder if Kurt is still using and old Mac to record is stuff. I`ll try to get an interview later on. You can download a bunch of albums here:
The man`s got his own blog too:

Tales from Tom the drunk hustler part 3


When I was a young chap (a couple of centuries ago) I would go clubbing / cruising every weekend with my two friends. There`s Pat, the small, tough as nails, silent rebel, and also Chris, the loud mouth, accident prone type. Last but not least, I`m Tom, the one in the middle.    


Rise of the it
It was a Friday night
Around eight o` clock p.m.
I was waiting for a phone call
From Chris
or Pat
or both
we where supposed to go out together
I was dressing up
Trying to look good, if that` s a possibility
While having a smoke
The phone rang, it was Chris
Hey man you ready to go out
Of course bro
I` m fucking thirsty and horny
In no particular order
Where you wanna go?
Oh one of our usual dives
You mean one of them hellholes on St-Laurent street
Exactly my man
I` ll go anywhere except café Cléopatre
I don` t wanna go there either
What about Chris ?
He should be here in a couple of minutes
Where you guys want to meet up ?
Let` s see around nine thirty p.m.
St-Laurent street corner of St-Catherine
In front of La Belle Province
Done deal my man
I` ll see you guys there
Ciao
I arrive there nine fifteen pm
It` s cold and humid
Now it` s starting to rain




I enter La Belle Province, order a hotdog
lotsa cabbage and hot mustard
I pay, have a seat next to the entrance
I` m inside, nice and warm
It` s nine forty five and I` m waiting
Ten o` clock, still fucking waiting
They arrive around ten thirty
Google eyes and gone
How come you` re so damn late I ask
Did you guys smoke up without me again ?
Just a little bit
But we have some more, ah, ah, ah…




We go in the back alley, smoke a couple of doobies
Now we` re back on St-Laurent street
All buzzed and stoned out of our minds
Chilling out
Where should we go Chris asks
I dunno man
Maybe we should go to Tavern Alouette Pat says
Good idea man
I think it` s worst than Midways
That` s why I wanna go there Pat says
Let` s go
You know you` re going to a real dive
When you open the door, and realize it` s a huge metal door
With bulletproof glass
We sit down , light up some smokes
Waiter arrives 6 foot 6, dark air he weights around 250 pounds
250 pounds of muscles
he looks mean and tough
I` m thinking to myself
Is he a waiter, a bouncer or both ?
We order some pitchers, pay up and start drinking fast




We` re thirsty like hell
That` s what happens when you smoke up too much
A couple of pitchers later
And all the ugly whores start to look good
Ah, the joys of drunken oblivion
Then she walked in
It was a transvestite
He was trying
To act / look like a girl
Was it a she?
Or maybe an he?
I don` t know
It was an it
let` s call it and it
It was
A six foot three
Barney Gumbles look a like




With a tight mini skirt
Unshaved legs
And testicles hanging out
Maybe it was wearing
A g string
A thong
Or nothing at all probably
A big, hairy set of balls indeed
Upon seeing this
After smoking a couple of joints
And drinking a shitload of  beer
Pat, Chris and myself
We tried
But we couldn` t control ourselves
And started laughing loudly
Suddenly
It walks next to me
Pulls out a butterfly knife


Sticks it on my neck
And with a nosy voice, says
You find that funny bitch
No sir
Then at the same time I notice
Da rack
It had really big tits
And I was thinking
Are those implants?
Fake boobs?
Or silicon valley territory?
It realized I was staring at it` s breasts
Grabs them both and says
You can` t afford those bitch
And me
Being the drunken moron that I am
I wouldn` t even fuck you with my friends dick here
Next thing I know someone punches me on the face
I fall on my back, lose my glasses
I` m trying to get up then I get kicked in the head
Without my glasses I` m blind as a bat
Someone falls on the floor close to me
I bash it` s head on the concrete
It` s all blurry but I see chairs flying 
People throwing beer bottles, glasses
It` s escalating fast
Becoming a full bar room brawl
I` m still trying to find my fucking glasses
Pat helps me get up
You have my glasses bro?
No, Chris has them
Where is he?
Outside I guess
We hear police sirens in the background
Closing in fast
We have to get out before the cops come in
I see a dark shadow appearing in front of me
I kick it in the balls
And I grab something big before it slowly falls on the floor
A big plastic structure
C` mon Tom let` s get the hell out of here
Cops are coming
What the fuck are you holding dude?
Shut up and run man
We split up and I take a cab


Go back to my place, lay on my couch
Fall a sleep immediately
The next day Chris gives me back my glasses
What` s  that thing on your couch Tom?
The transvestites fake plastic boobs
That story happened more than twenty years ago
Those fake plastic breasts
They sure are a good pillow indeed.

Shameless self promotion department

. On Saturday night, November 10th , 2012 The Butterman was spending the evening at my place. Butter was drinking some Smirnoff Ice (da big ass 1 liter bottle) and I was having a couple of blond L`Intrépide (an amazing microbrewery from Québec). We were discussing the future of `The CHRNCX Of Ridicule`, our internet video log. Why it was censored and what`s the next step in evolution. My laptop was just lying there and I though, wouldn`t it be great to record a complete noise album in one evening. I opened my good old sampler/recorder SoundEngine program. We created thirteen tracks of harsh experimental noiseworks.
Artist name: Flesh For Frank
Album title: The CHRNX Sessions
Here's what the back cover looks like:


Total running time: 58.10 minutes !!!
