about

Been putting in a lot of hours at work, not getting much done, so I set myself a task: Just try to record something, 1 song, every day. No frills (have there ever been), just mess around a little, find a groove, press record, and go. Over the last 2 weeks, these are the results.

Regarding the artwork, I bought this kazoo thinking...why not? It'll be fun. It was the sole instrument on the recording. All other sounds are from microphones placed around me and run through effects pedals. Additional sounds on "The White Album? What Was That?" by my very loud neighbor. RG makes a very special appearance on "The Gig is Cancelled", and SLH provides invaluable contribution to "Anjelica Huston".

The album name and track titles are all references to This Is Spinal Tap, of course. I was thinking of the incongruity of the Smell the Glove songs and the eventual artwork (the infamous "none more black" cover) as I was looking at this little kazoo and listening to the tracks presented here.
