Johnny Cake

Jo(h)nny Cake pnu. 1. Euphemism for the pancake among American settlers and their descendants. 2. Tim Wilson's funkadelic audio release from 1996, on the short-lived Alpha Chimp label. 3. A potent brand of Peruvian blow.

Extrapolation

Lambasted by Rolling Stone as "pure crap," the album still manages to find a steady and enthusiastic audience. Tracks can frequently be heard on the kind of college radio stations prone to playing Jandek (http://tisue.net/jandek/). Kurt Cobain listed it as number 27 on a list of his favorite 146 albums of 1978. Thom York described it as "THE soundtrack for Guvernor Morris birthday celebrations; if Johnny Cake ain't on the turntable, either take Alexander Hamilton's dick out of your mouth or leave the closet."
