Recorded in Joe's South Miami apartment circa 2000. One of the few remaining recordings of this political commentary about the illegitimate regime of the time. Tape degradation is evident. Lyrics and music by Joe - guitars and vocals.

Experimental recordings from over the years featuring various song-writing/music collaborations.
I have been writing and attempting to create original music since I was 17 years old. Since that time, I have collaborated with many different artists on various projects. Thankfully, my friends are just as crazy as I and share a similar penchant for writing and recording homemade music. Most of the jams from back in the day were recorded on cassette tape. Some were done using computers or digitized previously, so they are of higher fidelity. On this page, I have chosen to publish and preserve for posteriority some of the choicer selections from our scatalogue. Many of these recordings were made before the computer age was full blown. Much of the overdubbing on the early recordings was done by tape-to-tape transfer which (if you have ever done it) you know causes an extreme loss of fidelity. Also, the fidelity of the tapes has degraded severely over the years. I did not get around to begin transferring until March 2009. Some of the recordings date as far back as 1991, so as you'll hear, some of the tapes were on the verge of demagnetizing. The recordings vary in quality, and you should be careful to adjust volume as necessary. I tried to give warning of the tracks with hot levels. Take these recordings with a grain of salt. Some were done on very low quality hand-held recorders, others on cassette 4-track, and some were fiddled with using Acid software during periods where computer editing was available. These recordings are being posted mainly for the artists involved. With all those disclaimers in mind, wecolme to The Vault and please indulge yourself in Selections from Our Scatalogue.

Lyrics
Government is robbing you There's nothing you can do You try to vote them out And they come right back at you Through their channels they avoid all that's fair They rob, rape, and steal They do it everyday Everyday . . . killing for their pay Money talks for the rich that stand And all the jobs are for the wealthy man Here comes walking government man Keep on talking for the wealthy man They keep us apart Hold us in the dark In a haste they void truth Desperate agents poison youth Spread their lies upon the news Watch it now they'll come for you Time shelters everything that stands Nothing we can do about government man Try to vote em out They get back in Its all about making money for their sin Pride themselves on being civilized But in our backyard there's torture The killing fields of our culture In the land, theree's no protection from the man Rob, rape, and steal all they can They rob, rape, and steal Rape and steal Keep us apart Hold us in the dark The poisonous history of the man Runs cold through his hands His fingers trample all who stand For freedom from his evil plan And there's no justice 'neath his skin And he will not let up until he wins You are but a helpless cell at his whim Some are but a mole on his chin. Waiting for excision to begin . . . Waiting for execision to begin . . . Waiting for excision to begin.
