over the years, blasting trout overbite has accumulated a number of projects that -- for one reason or another -- we never recorded. though we continually push on with new projects, we ocassionally dip into our stash of back-logged lyrics and forgotten albums. here's a list of things that are in a state of pseudo-existent limbo. for the sake of posterity, and in the interest of possibly recording these at some point (and also because people have been inquiring lately), here are what remain of several unrecorded blasting trout overbite projects:
THE DORSE
READ BETWEEN THE LIVES
This was to be arthur's first semi-solo album, and supposedly more "serious" than regular Blasting Trout Overbite. He wrote lyrics for several songs, but looking back on them, he says they're way too emo and mopey for him to ever sing now. Still, the song titles are awesome (they were a collaborative effort), and perhaps something new can be made of them eventually.

ERNSQUEAVE
I'M STANDING, BUT I'M NOT GLAD
Trying to recreate the spontaneous album creation that was FEWN, in the band's junior year we came up with the band ernsqueave and these song titles, some using the "type with the mouse" program Dasher. We wrote lyrics for a couple, too. Of course, we never recorded any of them.

here shortly.
FOIN
possible title for a future FEWN album
ALBUM TO BE DESTROYED
an album plasket threatened to make for
a long time. some possible tracks to be on it were "licking the foam" and
"this one's for pie." the project morphed into a number of different plasket
projects until eventually the title was used for a compilation of off-the-cuff
plasket ditties recorded mostly in late 2003.
MISC. LYRICS
there are a number of lyrical outtakes
from most of our albums, especially the mean machine & his merry mud
and YES projects, that were never made into proper songs. a few got salvaged
by dan at some point, but those early four-tracked solo endeavours were
largely unsuccessful, with the exception of the immortal "dumb trough,"
which had lyrics by plasket. some titles include "i am a sky-head," "owner
of the opera," "mystery-flavored watergram," and "jess vs. world peace."
many of the YES outtakes are missing at the moment, but hopefully will
turn up. most of these old lyrics are slated for the gumball
machine pt. 1 follow-up.
