dave
song number 93 - eat it in your mouth, dude
a song about
dave, the same guy who sung "raped by an angel."
dead
baby wedding (live from the noise parade)
the noise parade
was this awesome thing we did one time where we
paraded around
the west halls quad singing obnoxious improvised songs. someone
had the bright
idea to record it on a portable tape recorder. this was the best song by
far.
that's jeff
singing the "duh duh duh" part.
DUST
part one / DUST part
two
the best recording
to result from our brief love affair with the loop feature on paul's
effects pedal.
everything in its right place (radiohead cover)
fat
bacon
being the only
10 second song that got fleshed out into a real song.

only matt solo recordings ever made. from the results, we wish he'd made
more!
gaggle of goblins (ORANGE GLORIOUS)
going to conshohocken on the back of a mule (WE ARE THE BUS)
if
this had words it would rule

rarely heard
track from an aborted (and forbidden) birthday album for matt
mountain
of gloom (THE NEW ZEAL)
the two new
zeal songs were a short-lived collaboration between arthur, dan, and

both really good songs. it's a shame they didn't do more!
my

arthur commisioned
this for his japanese class.
nutrition!
(SPITTY SAUCECUP)

cooked up with a fourtrack and paul's effects pedal.
o
calorie granulated sugar substitute (PLASKET SOLO)

up a packet
of sugar and sang this little hymn to it. it was an instant classic.
ow
i hit myself (ORANGE GLORIOUS)
rarely heard
track from an aborted (and forbidden) birthday album for matt
phone
noise generator
one of the
great blasting trout overbite mysteries. not only do we have no memory
of recording
this, we can't even figure out who was involved! we honored this song's
legacy with
the sequel "superphone meganoise pseudogenerator 2."
plasket's got a brand new bag (PLASKET SOLO) (james brown cover)

sounds beamed from the future
this was intended

summer babe (HOT CHOICE) (pavement cover)
we're going to be friends (white stripes cover)
you were meant for me (JOOL) (jewel cover)
