Beware of the Piano. This is DJ's original
long playing record on 12 inch vinyl. It is currently out of print.
Update Feb. 18, 2008: DJ
will soon be entering into negotiations with Jackhammer Records to rerelease Beware of the Piano onto CD, and
include "Smoke, Suffer, and Die" as a bonus track.
Songs on Beware of the Piano include:
"Greedy Little Monsters;" "Bedtime Tears;" "Lousy Personality;" "Judy is a Punk" by the Ramones; "Airplane"
which has 4 parts to it, namely "Airplane," "Zombi," "The Barking Song," and "Doggy"; "Holiday in Cambodia" by
Dead Kennedys; "My Humble Home; " "The King of Happiness;" "Because of my Hemorroids;" "Jump Start my Heart" written
by John Iversen of the Stickers; "Racism Sucks" by Seven Seconds; "Breathe on Me"; and "Have Hope."
Unless otherwise indicated all songs are written by
DJ Lebowitz.
The album's original executive producer was Rich Ashmore.
It was Rich who made this album possible.
"Smoke Suffer, and
Die" a 7 inch 33rpm single on red vinyl. The B side is an instrumental version of "Starting
Again" by the late Eric Stuart who used to sing this song with his band Learning Corporation. The only commercially
released recording of this song is the DJL rendition on this disk.
This record is not widely available in stores.
At this time, DJ Lebowitz recordings are not available. We're working on having a new batch available later on.

A new album from DJL is long overdue. He's working on it,
but like his first album, it will be a long time in coming. We'll keep you posted.

Fowl Records has now gone defunct. Future DJ Lebowitz records will likely be on Jackhammer Records,
which is run by long time DJL fan, Ed Osmundson. Ed will probably also rerelease Beware of the Piano on CD
eventually.
Jeff Lowery,
owner of the 1313 Club and the Pterodactyl Club in Charlotte, North Carolina called BEWARE OF THE PIANO the best album
of the year.

BEWARE OF THE PIANO hit
#1 at KALX Berkeley,CAL and at KJHK Lawrence,Kansas. It hit #2 at CJAM Windsor, Ontario, and charted on many other stations
in North America and Europe.
"Smoke, Suffer, and Die" has hit the charts in California
and Illinois. Someone wrote on the cover of a copy of the record sitting in the record library at WZRD radio in Chicago,
"This song is getting played way too much!"
"Smoke, Suffer, and Die" has helped to make DJ Lebowitz
one of the most unpopular piano players in America today!
