Recorded by me at Lilypad on January 8, 2007 (Elvis & Bowie birthdays), these songs marked the opening of our basement to the musical universe. No walls or ceilings or floors. But the gear was there and even hooked up and running. Record here? Impossible! But, why not? A raw, live performance certainly needs nothing to add if the emotion and energy is right.So we took a chance. Cath fired up the frozen chicken nuggets. I fired up the analogue 16-track that hadn't seen use in over 3 years (ok, I did calibrate it first, making sure the heads were pristine and the tape oxide was not peanut butter). And in walked a band I had never met.
