Special Cheese

   We all like special things. Special treatment, special buses...what about Special Cheese? Josh Ewert likes special cheese. He even formed a synthpop band called Special Cheese. OK, so maybe it's less a band than just him in his bedroom, but the songs are pretty catchy. With better production, they may have even become hits. The songs are catchy, cute, and humourous (titles like "The Chicken Spoke Chineese", "The Grumpy Farmer" and "Special Cheese Rap" don't exactly put him in the same territory as The Cure and Joy Division). It's just a demo tape put out in 1994, and from the cover photo---and his voice---it sounds like he was a teenager. I can find no information at all online about him or his tape, and it's not the best thing in the world, but it's fun, and things shouldn't be hidden forever in the Great InterSatan....er...Internet.
   The only info on the tape is as follows:

   Josh Ewert - voice keybords + programming
   Backing vocals=Dan Conway and Kurt Johnson
   Mixed at Jimmy studios by Josh Ewert
   Remastered at  RPC
   All songs written by Josh Ewert © 1994

...and the helpful message:  Eat Some Beans

   I found this tape somewhere in a box of free things. Maybe you can find this on the internet. There are 10 songs on the tape. 
   Here is the title track, "You Stole The Ice Cream":
