Jay Poggi, also known as MC Trachiotomy, has released a small but nice catalog of psychedelic rap over the course of his long career. Recently Poggi, Ratty Scurvics, Lefty Parker and their Bywater crew flew to New York to open for the newly reunited Butthole Surfers. But Trach is almost as famous for his amazing house, also known as The Pearl Lounge, an after hours "club" that hosts parties I shouldn't describe on the internets. They're just down low fun, with a lot of oysters. The Pearl itself is vast, several warehouses big, and full, full, FULL of crap, some very valuable. I remember the first tour Jay gave me, of the outdoor tile kitchen, all the amazing souvenirs he'd collected during his many years as a float painter, another room filled with five jukeboxes, the comprehensive remnants of a bankrupt daiquiri shop, which covered a small car that I only knew was under there, because Jay said so. And so much more. Just everything. And I always wondered when the day would come when he would have a sale. Now is the time. Here is the email I was sent (all spelling by the author; Jay should have "sic." tattooed directly on him):
