This
12-song demo was recorded at Old
Plank Sonic Laboratories by Steve
Jacula. This was my first recording experience,
and Steve was a great guy to work with and learn from.
He was also very liberal with the Oberweis milk, veggies,
and Wasa crackers.
I
regret, however, that I didn't have more recording experience
(even on a 4-track) before going to Old Plank.
If I had had a little more sense of the whole process,
this recording would have been much more impressive.
I only say this because I spent so much damn money (my
fault, not Steve's).

As
I no longer had a copy of this tape (gave away all remaining
copies at our last show) when making the following pages,
I was forced to listen to these songs again to get the
lyrics. It wasn't a comfortable experience.
I didn't know what I was saying half the time (always
had a horrible mumbling problem). When I did know
what I was saying, I was really embarrassed I phrased
things the way I did. Well, I think I was a freshman
or sophomore in high school when I wrote these songs.
What can I say?
Many
thanks go out to Bryan Terada (aka Turtle), who held
onto some copies of the cassette and scanned the j-card
for the website, allowing visitors to see the cover
and me to fill in the gaps in the lyrics.
