Brother Theodore
Fate Conspires With Destiny To Do Me Dirt (+7"
LP+7". Limited edition of 500 copies, 250 copies on (randomly inserted) 'Endless Void' white vinyl and 250 copies on (randomly inserted) 'Where There Is Death, There Is Hope' black vinyl! The fevered rantings of a delusional madman? Or... the profound musings of a stand-up tragedian? You decide. Here, reissued for the very first time, are the seminal recordings of Brother Theodore. Theodore was a staple of late-night talk shows like the 'Late Night With David Letterman' show, a denizen of dubious '70s exploitation films such as the 'Jaws' sex-parody 'Gums' and the disco-vampire flick 'Nocturna', onetime Chess Champion of New York City and alleged offspring of Albert Einstein. Whether raving at midnight at Carnegie Hall or delivering dark diatribes over musique-concrete tape mash-ups, Theodore was unlike anyone before or since. Prohibitively rare and criminally misunderstood, the masters thought lost or destroyed for decades, Brother Theodore's premier recordings are now presented in an official deluxe edition. Lectures to abandon bipedalism, craven bloodthirsty hallucinations, bongo beatnik-ism and Marshall McLuhanian pre-post-modernism - Brother Theodore was a philosopher, metaphysician and comedian of the grotesque - an absurdist storyteller, delivering masterful expressionist-horror monologues and nihilistic gallows humour dialogues. In these days of darkness and doubt, of crisis and confusion, what the world needs is a truly great soul. BROTHER THEODORE IS THAT SOUL. LP+7".
