DiskothiQ - Delicious, Homemade (1992) [Sonic Enemy, No Number, Cassette]
The first DiskothiQ tape! And what a tape. Some notes:
This is a hard tape to get a copy of, much like every Sonic Enemy release. For a while I thought that this was the only DiskothiQ release on Sonic Enemy, but it turns out there were a few copies of The Wandering Jew on cassette as well, which is much much rarer. The person who sent me the copy I have in my possession, had to construct the Discogs listing for the tape himself from scratch that same day.
Lyrics are provided for DiskothiQ songs, but not for covers. This album has historically had several lyrics marked [inaudible] due to only having two sources to work from (a physical tape in my hands, and someone else's rip). 2021 update: thank you very much to mr. peter chard for emailing me many times with lyrics to make up for my bad ear! peter chard the people's hero. if you see italicized lyrics that's a sign he has helped out.
If you have a physical copy of this tape with a unique cover, please email pencilthroughmyhand at gmail, I would love to upload it here as part of the archive, and credit you for the trouble of photographing and emailing.
What Does This Tape Sound Like?

(Note on the above: no, still no track A5. I thought about it, but decided against it.)
A1. I'm Straight (Jonathan Richman cover)
[Note for the younger crowd: this is "straight" in the way you might hear "straight-edge" used, as in "not into substances"; not "straight" meaning heterosexual. Neither Mr. Jonathan Richman nor a young Peter H are disparaging anybody for their orientation. Hippie Johnny is being castigated here for his use of recreational drugs.]
A2. Svatý Vincent
they call him svatý cause svatý means saint
but a fuckin role model's one thing he ain't
wearin a halo of destruction and hate
vincent vincent annihilate
rrrright around the plaza wenceslas square
ain't got no throne ain't got no hair
václav havel would've trembled in fear
if he knew what the fuck was goin' on in there
SVATÝ!
VINCENT!
singin' 'bout satan and lsd
v-i-n, c-e-n-t
i know where i wanna be
p-r-a fuckin g-u-e
don't need no chorus dont need no verse
don't need no stinkin' time to rehearse
just need my reign on planet earth
but vincent rode the universe
from prague to the vatican new york to tibet
there ain't no place he hasn't been yet
[inaudible] songs bout the terminal threat
ears bleed at the mention of the name
SVATÝ!
VINCENT!
singin' 'bout satan and lsd
v-i-n, c-e-n-t
i know where i wanna be
p-r-a fuckin g-u-e
singin' 'bout satan and lsd
v-i-n, c-e-n-t
i know where i wanna be
p-r-a-h-a
[About this song: hello from your web admin. I am a dullard who does not read enough books so, I have now compiled some Wikipedia links based on my listening, and site visitor Mr. Peter Chard's contribution of "Wenceslas square" via email, and I pasted the little á a few times so there you go. Not the first time Peter H has caused me to learn some history.
- Wenceslas Square
- Saint Václav/Wenceslas
- Václav Havel
- Praha is the local name for Prague]
A3. You Can Smoke All You Want
i cleaned the bathrooms yesterday
well i walked to school three miles and back
i carried groceries home from the store
i want somebody to rub my back
i got a hole in my stomach
i got a hole in my heart
my whole body hurts
well i'm sufferin for my art
and you can smoke all you want, yeah
but i don't even give a fuck, no no
hey you can smoke all you want
but don't hurt my lungs
hey you can talk all you want
about all your fun
how fun it was
how fun it is
just don't expect me
to give a fuckin' shit
and you can smoke all you want, yeah
but i don't even give a fuck, no no
A4. Pork Chop
she fried that pork chop up
laughin in your face
i ate that pork chop up
it just wasn't my place to question good fortune
but fortune's a fickle thing
and i didn't know anything
i got a lot of makin' up to do
she fried that pork chop up like some kind of joke
i ate that pork chop up tryin' not to choke
i took you for granted
but fortune's a fickle thing
and it took back everything
now all i got i got is your voice in my head
A5. Diarrhea
Peter H is a good sport and said
i could post these lyrics if i want
but we'll live without them.
maybe i'll do furniture one and
add these at the same time later.
just imagine schoolyard songs
you might have heard as a kid...
A6. Priscilla Loved Him Too
i wish i didn't know what i was doing
but i'm afraid i do
i wish i could erase the knowledge
that keeps me from loving you
you know it's not your fault
you, you can't be blamed for what i fucked up
A7. Feet Are Free, Motherfucker
i am a pedestrian
i have the right of way
i don't care who the fuck you are
stay the fuck out of my way
i am a pedestrian
i don't need your fuckin ride
i don't care who the fuck you are
stay the fuck outta my way
i don't care if you're a cop
you still gotta fuckin' stop
i don't care who the fuck you are
i am a pedestrian
i have the right of way
i don't care who the fuck you are
stay the fuck out of my way
i am a pedestrian
i don't need your fuckin ride
i don't care who the fuck you are
stay the fuck outta my way
i don't care if you're a cop
you still gotta fuckin' stop
i don't care who the fuck you are
A8. Rot (Speed Queens cover)
A9. Bad Apples
i stopped at lucky's on my way home from school
thought i'd be healthy, thought i'd be cool
bought me a bag of big red fruit
drove on home, a rooty-poo-poo
cooked some grub up in a pot
thinkin about the dessert that i got
didn't notice that squishy spot
took a bite of big brown rot
bad apples, bad apples
if there was a god
they'd be against the law
bad apples piss me off
two naked kids in a lovely land
went and brought about the fall of man
eve took that treat in her left hand
she didn't know that apple was bad
bad apples, bad apples
if i was god
they'd be against the law
bad apples piss me off
A10. Superamerica
well it's been 3 whole days
since you've been gone
and i still smell your shampoo in my hair
well it's been 3 whole days
since you've been gone
that's how long it's been since i washed my hair
and i know you won't be coming back
thats why i'm sittin' right here feelin' really bad
no no no no
well it's been 3 whole days
since you've been gone
and i still hear you sayin' it's not fair
well it's been 3 whole days
since you've been gone
i don't think i'm gonna ever wash my hair
some kind of fucked up older brand
the scent of which i ain't smelled before or since
no no no no!
well it's been 3 whole days
since you've been gone
and i still smell your shampoo in my hair
well it's been 3 whole days
since you've been gone
that's how long it's been since i washed my hair
and i know you won't be coming back
thats why i'm sittin' right here tryin' not to,
oh oh oh oh
B1. Supersqualo
i can't even remember what your real name was
you gotta yell, that's [inaudible rest of line]
no one even remembers they just use the same one
and everything you say all goes my way
you keep getting me in trouble in my dreams at night
it's happened twice, it's kind of nice
even when i wake up, seems like everything's all right
and later i see you, everything is cool
this isn't a mistake i know, don't cost enough
i've gotta yell, this kinda helps
i know that someday i'll play the day you'll call my bluff
and everything i say all goes away
B2. Gelato Song
let the record show as of 7-23-2021 i have reached out to luigi at almost halloween time for help
update 7-26-2021: luigi falagario, the people's hero, has rescued me, here is his hard work.
Dov'è la gelateria?
Vorrei gelato, mamma mia!
Andiamo questa via
Andiamo a gelateria
Andiamo per favore
"due ???? ottocento ???"
Vietato fumare
Andiamo veloce veloce
After ottocento, i think Peter says Litri, but maybe he meant Lire (Italian currency before Euro)
no idea about what he is singing after due... Maybe he wanted to order two cups (coppette) or two cones (coni)
update 5-21-2022: i had to ask peter h about this one to see about the line we had as "due ???? ottocento ???" the line has now been updated to "due bigliettos, ottocento lire". two bus tickets, eight hundred lire. how about that. it is complete:
Dov'è la gelateria?
Vorrei gelato, mamma mia!
Andiamo questa via
Andiamo a gelateria
Andiamo per favore
Due bigliettos Ottocento lire
Vietato fumare
Andiamo veloce veloce
B3. Hit The North
well it's a good long drive
but it ain't long enough
cause it's a land of evil and wicked stuff
where malice lurks around every mossy tree
they got fields and forests and pretty views
and folks who will tell you that they love you
but their tales are as tall as a redwood grows to be
see i grew up down south and i confess
that it's getting to be a bit of a mess
with traffic and smog and folks thinkin' they're tom cruise
but there's a certain kind of honesty
when people wear their phoniness on their sleeves
and that's something you just can't find in santa cruz
hit the north!
hate the north!
hit the north!
i hate the north
seven oh seven or four one five
your self esteem is gonna take a dive
if you find those codes turning up on your phone bill
and if you find yourself makin that drive
up the long and lonely interstate five
i'll tell you right now you're gettin' set up for the kill
you think no cow folks are down to earth
seem real not fake, give you a sense of worth
about yourself and the world and your heart feels like it's home
but there's a secret behind those friendly eyes
and the truth behind those wicked lies
is that the heart you love might be a heart of stone
hit the north!
i hate the north!
hit the north!
i hate the north!
B4. Perfect Power (Sebadoh cover)
B5. Graceless
[instrumental]
B6. Cookie Monster
[words inaudible due to yelling/speaker clipping, except recurring word "cookies". 2021-07-23 update: i got a better a-to-d converter and still no luck. peter hughes has no recollection of the song period. the world may never know!]
B7. DiskothiQ Theme
[instrumental]
B8. Tougher Than Heather (Live '92)
well i don't know why i feel so bad
i know it's time for me to go
just seems like everything we had
has gone away you know it's so
i can't say it was right or wrong
i can't tell you how you should be
and if i didn't know just how he feels
well you know it'd be all right with me
and i can't say if it was right or wrong
and i can't tell you how you should be
and if i didn't know just how he feels
well you know it'd be just fine with me
B9. Hit The North 2 (I Take It All Back) (Live '92)
the beauty of nature awaits me
500 miles away
i'm hittin the north not a moment too soon
i'm gonna chase away my orange county blues
i ain't got no friends
they let me down or done gone moved away
but on a day like this i'll forget the first
and understand why the rest just couldn't stay
so take me where everythin' is green
and the trees are born, not made
and they stand in the ground
where god put 'em
and not linin' some street or some leveled grade
yeah the wind is whisperin to me
it's an offer i can't refuse
i'm hittin the north on a springtime trail
there ain't no way that i can lose
i take it all back, i take it all back
i take it all back
oh take it all back, take it all back,
take it all back, take it all back
