you missed the "who are they" part :)

this is from pj - s://kimo -->

BETA BODEGA COALITION: 2K 12" (BETA BODEGA) $5.99
"2k is referring to the year 2000. This when according to the 1977
Torrijos-Carter Canal Treaties are to return the Panama Canal and
abandon military bases located throughout the Southern Command to
the people of Panama. The Beta Bodega Coalition has released reports
of the conspiracy of the Reagan/Bush administration to execute an
invasion [December 20, 1989] that would insure control of the Canal
past the year 2000. With the nearing of the millenium we felt
compelled to press the issue. Beta Bodega Coalition consists of:
Hamijama: AKA - JAKE MANDELL. tpm : AKA - PUSH BUTTON OBJECTS.
Patcha Kutek : AKA, TAKESHI. . 1000 limited vinyl . 5 track ep . includes
11x17 metallic ink, design/info poster & 8.5 x 11 datasheet .custom-made=20
screen-printed jackets [with stay-fresh seal]"



I think this is quite a neat release.. i ordered it, forgot what it was
when i got it, listened to it.. and loved it!  then i found out who the
folks were on it.. sort of a shock to me, as the music is different than
what i personally would expect from takeshi and PBO (dont know much j
mandell).  the art/packaging on this sorta reminds me of something IPR
(independent project) would do..
