109 Records - 1988
White Trash - Mark Zero
Naked Animal - Moira Luna
Real Estate Blues - Roger Manning
Prisonville Blues - Lauren Stauber
Blood on the Pavement - Reisbaum
I Love My New Clothes - Jennifer Blowdryer
White Trash: N.Y. Folk, Volume One (109 Records) is as raw, flawed, charming, obnoxious, and sometimes brilliant as the Loisaida mini-scene that spawned it. Thereby, about as "authentic" as anything can be in this thoroughly fake, overrated one-horse town. Many cuts are more rough sketch than developed conception. (Then so was the Thompkins Square mini-insurrection, you might add.) Still, given the flakiness and factionalism endemic to the milieu, it's commendable they got this quickie together at all, capturing a sub-culture moment, perhaps sustaining its momentum.
