Comment:

This is a vintage mix tape I made in September of 1988. There's no actual theme, except that it was music I was really digging at that time (although it suggests a future tape: songs with "heaven" in its title only in parenthesis!). At that time, I was into naming tapes with none or very loose themes after random phrases mentioned by friends. The moniker for this mix came from a response to a college dining hall comment that someone seemed to be chewing their food a great deal more than was necessary. Please note that the Cowboy Mouth used twice here is not the '90s New Orleans group but rather a one-album '80s band on Throbbing Lobster Records (fronted by the pseudonymous son of pop artist Roy Liechtenstein).

This band with the name Cowboy Mouth was terrific. Very '80s indie rock sound. I've sometimes thought of their sound as The Go-Betweens meets early New Order (just take whatever that conjures in your mind and degrade the sound a little bit; that should be close).
