This cassette was Squeaky's first steps into the wacky world of digital recording. Sure, we take it for granted now, but when you've been a 4tracker for years, the idea that your music is turning into numbers recorded onto a glorified VCR sounds pretty insane.

The song titles are meaningless, the cassette title is sarcastic, and we can't remember how to play these songs to save our lives. Still, these songs endure.

So, we rented some mics, borrowed some mics, recorded live to a borrowed ADAT machine. We were pretty excited at the clarity of the tones, as well as the absence of tape hiss.

Kevin's playing a fretless bass, which he borrowed from Kristen Wanner. He loved playing it.
