Russ Stedman - "Out-Of-Body Experience" (C-60, 1989)
RUSS STEDMAN - "OUT-OF BODY EXPERIENCE" : (FACTSHEET FIVE, #32) - A wild, multigenre rock collection with songs that are sometimes crude but mostly funny. Try the alternative love-affair of "My Baby Grew a Dick", the safe sex warning of "Full Body Condom", or the socially conscious "This Little Piggie (Jammin' Version)" and you'll see what I mean. A warped sense of humor and some musical talent make for a fun if slightly shocking release. (Mike Gunderloy)
RUSS STEDMAN -
"OUT-OF-BODY EXPERIENCE" : (EAR
OF CORN, #26) - The music is more or less rock, twisted a bit perhaps. But, the
gem of the tape are the lyrics and frank delivery. We have here such classics as
"Cunt cemetery", "Last Donut" (for our friends in blue), and a ton more. Pretty
funny shit on this tape with snippets between songs that amuse/confuse me.
Pretty cool shit, and Russ takes trades for all the tapes he offers.(Dave Schall)
RUSS STEDMAN - "OUT-OF BODY
EXPERIENCE" : (SOUND CHOICE, #13
WINTER 1990) - "Sex just ain't no fun anymore, since my baby grew a Dick" (And
she's "proud of it.") Oh, here's a sensitive little number...got acoustic
finger-pickin', some off key whistling...'different' topic ("Cunt Cemetery")
Y'know, l wasn't sure whether I'd hate this a little while ago, now I am. It's
too precious, not to mention totally fucking stupid. The inside pee-pee jokes
and unfunny scatology just aren't making me Iaugh...and as a whole this amounts
to little more that juvenile poop. Guess it's only fair to point out that the
music is well-recorded, and if the offensively idiotic words would scat, you'd
have a pretty well structured collection of quirky pop here...it's just that the
nudge-nudge lyrics drag everything down to the absolute bottom...and I do not
like the snotty racist remark that precedes "Last Donut" (over a black blues
tune, "McRibs" indeed !). YAWN-O, and fuck you. (Bret Hart)
RUSS STEDMAN - "OUT-OF-BODY EXPERIENCE" : (MISSING LINK CASSETTE CATALOG) - Have you ever wondered what Hustler magazine would sound like if it were put to music ? This tape, mainly consisting of songs inspired by Stedman's masturbatory fantasies, and the words we were all giggling at in the sixth grade, sounds like the music Larry Flynt would make if he had any inclination. There is something here to offend everyone. Well-produced and recorded, his music shows that Stedman is strongly influenced by 70's hard rock bands as well as contemporaries Metallica, Bon Jovi, and Midwest rocker Henry Lee Summer. Raunchy, eclectic, sexually and politically offensive to even the most jaded, this tape is not for the squeamish. But the music is excellent, and if approached with just the right frame of mind, you will enjoy his "sensitive" songs such as ''Full Body condom", or the politically poignant "Bush". If you have a sense of humor, appreciate good, hard driving rock, or are looking for the perfect gift for Tipper Gore, then you will enjoy this tape, although you may want to take a shower afterwards.
