We are not in the business of making people
think we're crazy. Life will grind your
experience of art into fragments with no
help from us. Progress is a biographer's
ruse. "When does something fun become a
struggle? Is it when you start to think it's
good?"--Good Horsey

Let's quickly check in on recording personnel: The WFMU session for track 5 thanks Tom. This would be Tom Scharpling, of 18 Wheeler and Best Show fame. The Best Show On WFMU ran for ages, then became The Best Show based out of New Jersey, and now is The Best Show based out of LA. Catch Tom every Tuesday night! The "Steve Krank" cited as recording track 1 on this tape... it's in Irvine, so I think this is KUCI's Steve Cronk? See the Diskothi-Q/Massengil split 7" page for something on that. Steve Burt of WHRB turns up more often as "Steve L. Burt" while Claudia Gonson's name will be familiar to Magnetic Fields fans. Shrimperfest recording courtesy of Bob.

Personnel identified here by F. Last names are: Kyle Brodie, Franklin Bruno, Joey Burns, Peter Hughes, Dennis Callaci, and...  

Speaking of fun: Barney (1 only)

Also, does the guitar in "On A Wall" (introduced with "this isn't a real song...") bring the later "Collage Elements" to mind for anyone else...?
