In an ideal world, it would be 1970, and "Future Grot" would be sitting in your local record store's underground music bin. The sounds you hear on this record were banged out and recorded over a vast period of time, in different locations, and on a variety of equipment. The earliest recordings date from 1989 and the most recent 2005. The oldest lyric comes from a notebook dated 1983. Recording locations included Manhattan, Brooklyn, Nutley NJ, Rhinebeck NY and Cold Spring NY. The equipment used to record the tracks included cassette 4-track, open-reel 4-track and laptop computer. The instruments (drum kits, guitars, casio keyboards and anything else that would make a suitable noise) were all played by a one-man-band known only as The Velveeta Heartbreak. VH also writes all the tracks and attempts to sing. Much, but not all, of this material was previously released on cassettes and CDRs going back to 1989. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as he enjoyed making it.
