Hey all... yes, these are getting a bit sparser I suppose.... that's what happens when life gets busier. Anyway.

1. "The Rolling River of Wasted Water" by The Defenestration Unit (By the Banks of the River Fourcade, 1999)... This was the third recording by the third version of TDU, recorded in December of 1999. At the time we were recording, a hydrant on Fourcade Street had burst, and the whole street had a nice long stream of water running down it. Of course, all the song titles and the album title had to reflect that moment in time.

2. "Just Say Neu!" by Avijit (Harbingers of Evil, 1996)... Another one of Avijit's Krautrockier numbers.

3. "Goat" by The Defenestration Unit (Buffaloes and Goat, 1997)... the only known recording by the rather vague undefinable second version of TDU, this time featuring Shane Lauder on drums, Charlie Naked on alto sax, Mike Switzer on trombone, JJ Watson on euphonium, Ajda Snyder on flute, and special guest Phil Gayle on acoustic guitar. There were other members of the second version of TDU, but this was one of the versions where the lineup was pretty fluid, so really there were probably lots of people who could've claimed membership in this version. Unfortunately, we just didn't record very often. This was done at KTRU for the Local Show, almost exactly a year after the "KTRU No-Stars" performance which created TDU in the first place.

4. "The Old Laughing Lady" [Neil Young] by Avijit (Salamander, 1994)... Again off the first recording of what I call "proto-Avijit", featuring Charlie Horshack on vocals and guitar, and Mike Switzer on drums, this extended rendition of Neil Young's classic song has always been one of my favorites.
