CONTENT ADVISORY WARNING! You should definitely preview “Shave ‘em Dry” and “Hot Wet Snatch” before playing these songs for your kids, coworkers, or parents. “Push It” contains some very naughty language. “First Love” and “Love Dwarf” are both early versions of the song “Love, She Said” and contain one bad word. “Diggin’” features one slightly bad word. If you listen close you might hear a little bit of “Hot Wet Snatch” in the background at the end of “Trust”. “Wiff on Me” is about Cocaine.

“Assorted Pork” is a collection of over 2 hours of early versions, rejects, experiments, covers, and re-imaginings. Some songs date as far back as 1997. Some songs feature musicians who have since gone insane, fallen off the map, or may be no longer alive. There is a live recording made at the world famous Orange Peel in Asheville, NC, several from the now defunct Hangnail Gallery in Augusta GA. Several compositions could be considered musique concrète. There is a remix of the song I made for the soundtrack of a book. There are a few one-off collaborations with very wonderful people. Noise, jazz, pirate songs, ballads, even metal… it’s all here. Some of you will love half of these songs, others will love the other half. Some of you, like me, will love every single one of these recordings. You are my people. Have fun, but be careful. Yours, A- Andrew H. Benjamin
