PIGFACE LIMITED EDITION RELEASE:

LEAN JUICY PORK

It seems completely bizarre to me that Pigface created an interview disc. Usually reserved for world-famous, heavy rock bands to speak about their intricate, amazing, difficult, chord progressions – and the challenges of being in a stadium-rock band. We, however, were still trying to solidify verbalize, communicate, and clarify just exactly what Pigface actually was. I asked Jason Pettigrew to call everyone and talk to them about it. And if any clarity was gained, I think I might’ve fucked that up by juxtaposing sound effects over the top of some of the better interviews…

For instance: as Bill Reiflin described Pigface, and perhaps the most equipped to do so, I buried his words in the sounds of a barber shop: hair clippers close to the microphone.

I think the track Pool Hall is an attempt to involve Steve Albini, who was always in the pool hall. Later, consumed with poker, and of course, his studio – but we tried several times to call the pool hall to ask if see could come to the phone – and he wasn’t or he wouldn’t.

I think this disc was supposed to be paired with the Welcome to Mexico…Asshole album – which was also an attempt to illustrate the wobbling jello, melting mass that Pigface already was. On that album, I included several different versions of the same song so people might understand more, what the fuck we were doing and that everything was different every night.

I don’t know that we understand it any better now. As the Museum continues to delve into the boxes of materials here, this felt like an interesting release, and a great way to continue to raise money for the Museum – and thanks a lot for you help and support (of the Museum AND Pigface!!)!
