THE SOPHOMORE SLUMP
THE TEN AND THIRTY SECOND SONGS

the way these songs worked was that we would decide on a length beforehand
(usually ten or thirty seconds) and then, right before we hit record on our computer,
someone would yell out a topic. for instance: "ten second song about goats!"

the songs were never planned out beforehand, other than deciding who would sing.

naturally, many of these songs are completely stupid and noisy, but some turned out
much better than they have any right to be. we'll leave you to decide which those are.

there are more 10 second songs to be found! a number cropped up on several of our
birthday albums. good hunting!

if you want, you can randomly select 99 of these songs and burn them to a cd.
presto! you own the secret album "99" by blasting trout overbite.
