East River Pipe is the name under which Fred Cornog (aka FM Cornog) records. Cornog was born in Suffolk, Virginia, and raised in Summit, New Jersey. After succumbing to alcoholism and becoming homeless, Cornog relocated to New York where he survived by busking. There he met Barbara Powers, the two falling in love, and with Powers’ support, Cornog released some home-recorded cassettes under the name East River Pipe. These attracted the attention of UK-based Sarah Records who released his records from 1993 to 1996. Cornog then moved to Sarah Records co-owner Matt Haynes’ new label Shinkansen Records and to Merge Records in the USA.

This is great stuff, I prefer "Axl or Iggy", but I enjoy all of his tracks I have .... ;-). Why is "Helmet On" so low in the charts? Music never changes the world, how many people listened to the lycrics of George Michael's "Praying for time", to name just one ultimate commercial success? Has anything changed?

amazing music. i own garbageheads and what are you on? they are both great. check out "stare the graveyard down" and "monumental freaks" on garbageheads. i also really like "some dreams can kill you" and "crystal queen," which are from 'what are you on?'
