Jack Ketch: How did Shrinkwrap form and who's the current line up?

Placebo Domingo - lead guitar
Cassandra - guitar, noise
Floyd - bass
Amy L. Nitrate - keyboards, vocals
Anna Rexia - drums, percussion, flesh

JK: Tell us about the Rock 'N' Roll Terrorist video you've released. Is it better than Todd Phillips' Hated?

MP: Ginger Lynn Allen and Jan-Michael Vincent.
JK: Do you have a response to the liner notes of the Layin' Up With Linda 7"?
MP: The liner notes to that 7" were the best piece of science fiction I've read in a long time...considering GG wrote all the liner notes to the War In My Head - I'm Your Enemy CD including the back cover.
JK: What's your favorite position?!?!
MP: Cassandra and I both agree that it's sixty-nine.
JK: Is GG God?
MP: GG said it best, "I'm God, Jesus Christ and Satan all rolled into one. There is no higher power than GG Allin. Rock 'N' Roll lives in me, and I'm the only savior for it."

I personally dont endorse the cover artwork to War In My Head - I'm Your Enemy - just as I don't believe GG is God/Jesus Christ and I don't agree with the lyrics to "I Am The Highest Power" - the record is just one long song (41 minutes 44 seconds), but if you're into bad trips you'll like it! It's a bunch of samples taken from GG's other records thrown together (with some additions).
