SKIN
CITY
The Delusionaires in Hi-Fi?!? Sleazy stop-n-go slopster from the Dels' live
shootout on WPRK 91.5 FM, 02/25/2004.
COMANCHE
A perfectly good item from the Revels songbook gets the Delusionaires treatment
-- unplugged! Aaron sets aside the guitar to man the ukulele on this number,
live on WPRK 02/25/2004.
IN
HEAVEN
Once more from the WPRK session... Lil' Jimmy Ivy wraps his pipes around
a David Lynch showtune and strikes Make-Out Gold!!!
DRESSING
ROOM
A sleazeball standard since the start.
Recorded for the DESTINATION POON longplayer 12/18/2002, boozed out of our gourds
in a cold, fetid warehouse in Longwood.
FUZZY
AND WILD
The old Ventures (!) chestnut suffers severe retardation.
A guitar string breaks somewhere in the course of this, but strangely, you can't
really notice it amongst the ruckus.
SHE
CRAWLS ON HER BELLY LIKE A REPTILE
Indecently-intentioned tango, also from the DESTINATION
POON sessions.
Was it supposed to be this short? Probably not, but what the hell...
FINGER-EEZ
Dimwitted piece of pseudo-exotica, captured live at the late, lamented Bodhisattva
Social Club.
The influence of the Bodhisattva's freely-flowing taps is in evidence, especially
amongst the audience.
THEM'S
YAMS
Retarded hillbilly novelty number, again recorded live at the Bodhisattva
Social Club.
Lil' Jimmy Ivy sits this one out, fetching himself a pint as it becomes apparent
the rest of us have had all too many.
HENRY
J
Bottom-fidelity hot rod stomper for the twisting set...
Rehearsal recording, made on the kind of cassette recorder a lower-middle-class
Junior High student might use to tape an interview with his granny. One-track,
built-in mike, taped over a cassette I made ten years ago.
THE
REGRETTABLE ACT
Derivative evil stroll for the low hours...
Same details as above. Strangely, it doesn't sound all that much worse than
the single...
FIFTH
KISS
Morbid last-dancer for you lovelorn...
Zanzibar 045-001 B-side
Recorded on a 30-year-old spool of used tape on a $5.00 Reel-to-Reel deck
in the kitchen, using a luxurious 3-microphone setup.
PISTOL
WHIPPED
Hideous sleazer for you who just don't give a damn...
Zanzibar 045-001 A-side
Same session as above, but worse -- this was actually intended to be a level
check, and NOT necessarily a successful one (even the drums are distorted).
For reasons inexplicable to this day, we chose to release this unwritten, unrehearsed,
and completely overdriven bloodbath as the A-side of our first single.
