BLASTING TROUT OVERBITE
LET'S GLUE STUFF TO THINGS
(DIRECTOR'S CUT)

blasting trout overbite's first full length recording.
originally this album was much longer and included many throwaway tracks
(like "mexican swiss classic," now a b-side), but we thought the album would
have a much better chance if we whittled it down to our best material.

01 my brass scorpion kit

02 penn state got burned down by lettuce
a song inspired by a ridiculous evening in the dining commons during which
a piece of lettuce ended up flying across the room and landing on a radiator.

03 i dream of meefy
from the 3 meefs album "unsung."

04 written or burned
one of our all time favorite songs.

05 chained to the roof of my rundown motel
indie rock fans will note that this song closely resembles "turn it on" by the flaming
lips. once we realized this, we made no effort to hide it, often combining the two songs
in live performances.

06 united chirp harvest
the title originated as magnetic poetry on arthur's fridge!

07 nad llik
our backwards song, in the manner of radiohead's "like spinning plates." plasket
sang the song phonetically backwards, and then we reversed the audio to make the
lyrics sound (somewhat) forwards again.

08 owl on rye

09 i never created anything i didn't destroy soon afterwards

10 the buck-toothed man with the umbrella

11 justin norton

12 short baseball-seeking hot girl

13 plasket on the moon

14 1886

15 hetero man friend
a song about our friend ana.

16 meal
a completely improvised song!

17 never kick water
one night, we all went to see a movie on campus. i believe it was "ghost world." after the
movie, plasket told us he was staying behind for a while. "what," we asked, "in the dark theater?"
"yes," he said. well, we thought that was weird, but we held our tongues and walked back to our
dorm room. we broke out the instruments and were noodling around for a while, when all of a
sudden plasket burst through the door, ordered us to play these specific chords, and launched
into this song. what you hear is the first and only take we ever recorded, and perhaps the finest
example of plasket's genius. we are still shocked to this day.

18 there's nothing out there

19 death march of the yaks

20 searching for chester's face
this song was born from some internet contest in which contestants were supposed
to submit a drawing of this guy named chester. we thought it would be cool if we submitted
our drawing in song form. we never submitted it, but it made a pretty awesome song.

21 my complete lack of teeth
