The
Pink "Not liking somebody, but having sex with them anyway. This one
starts out in the same way as our last record, but then quickly moves in another
direction. The guitars were all recorded at home for that stingey (not Sting-ey)
sound."
Babydoll "What happens when you compare someone to a piece of
plastic. The ultimate candy pop song that we've messed up with sick chord
changes that shouldn't work, but somehow do."
Slut "The story of a woman rapist. A sleazy latin disco thing
that's our tribute to the Miami Sound Machine.
She Knows Everything "It's about Beth, who does seem to know
everything. The lo-fi guitar sounds were recorded in my bedroom."
Something Goes Wrong "This one's about me being a total hermit.
Southern fried rock, the Byrds meet the Hollies."
Never Click ) "Giving somebody the kiss off. There's an orchestra of
hundreds of funny guitar sounds that mask the fact that it's basically just a
pure pop song."
Fried Awake "This one came out so nice that it scared the hell out of
us."
Beneath The Sands "My personal favorite because of all of the shortwave
radio sounds. It confuses most everybody. Which is a good thing."
Emmeline "An audio landscape depicting the love between woman and
toad."
I Hear "Our power ballad about corpses."
Live It Down "We called Van Dyke Parks out to arrange this one because
we figured that he could do an epic '60s arrangement. He did, and the song comes
off like the Velvet Underground produced by Phil Spector."
The Earth Is Soft And White "Listen as Jim and I work out our
frustrations that our first noise improv band, Debt of Nature, never made a
record."
