You remember the first time you figured out how to flip the tape over and make music play backwards? Well, I do. It was when I made this song.

Reflections
Sheer jest. I think August and I were up late, just playing song ideas. You can hear him singing a little backup in there.

Vocal Glass
Featuring the voice of my friend Laura, this was just me enjoying the heck out of a “phaser” pedal or something I had for my guitar at the time.

Unmitigated
A throwaway. Presumably I was in some kind of “mood” where I found the sound of this guitar super exciting or something.

Recorded on a four-track in a small bedroom in Minneapolis, this is a good example of how I listened to way too much Butthole Surfers for a spell.

Shattered Glass
Before I had access to a multitrack device of any kind, I recorded this with a pair of handheld cassette recorders. It was more or less to prove a technical point, which is my way of saying that it’s completely unlistenable.

I Got the Blues (Partial)
Partly the first bit of tape here was lost to history, along with a song I titled “Pokealotasmottapus”. For real. It’s probably best, but I’ve preserved this bit for posterity.

Feedback
Throwaway, but I did eventually make a video for it for the Hello! Video show I used to run.
