"Fall-chat-a-gall-ya", apparently. Accents on "chat" and "gall". :)

Yeah, sometimes Trans distributes for FG, though not recently. Mike Shepherd
(Transparency) is trying to make a living releasing only the weirdest L.A.
music, bizarre non-musical stuff such as celebrity bloopers, an old drunk
smoky-voiced Judy Garland cussing people out, exorcisms by '50s
fundamentalist preachers, Manson Family music, Alestair (sp) Crowly speeches,
etc.

Yeah, Brainticket is John Perez's (Liquid Sound Co/Solitude Aeturnus) label,
Arlington, Tx. BTW, John just told me there's another LSC album just out, and
possibly another one soon.
