A few words from the Alleged Artist:
There is something magical about Christmas. No other holiday feels quite as
warm or peaceful. This will not do, and we have done our best to destroy it.
"A Velvet Cockroach Christmas" was released at the height of
Velvet Cockroach's popularity. Fully five or six people knew we existed, and at least half of them didn't vomit profusely when listening to our tapes. After that, it was your prototypical VH-1-style fall from grace. We decided to murder each other, and
it was only because there were an odd number of us in the band that i am alive
to write any of this.
Since this album was completed in the fell winter of 1988, a number of people
have approached me, asking whether there would ever be a sequel. Right before
i gave each one of those people a noogie with a bottle opener, I explained that
a sequel was unlikely, as that would have violated the artistic vision we had
when we made the original. Then I laughed because I knew the person didn't
care at this point, or at least that is how I interpret the phrase, "Augh! stop
sticking that bottle opener into my skull!"
People are the same wherever you go, when you get right down to it.
