# listen to every other song then.
remember when artists would list alternate track orders for people to listen to for programmable cd players? instead of 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9, etc, they'd tell you to try 3-8-12-1-4-11-2-5-7-10-6 to evoke a different mood from the same songs.

# Well, there are three songs that are actually listenable on first hearing.
"Eyebath", "Spike/Spear", and "Onion Union".

The rest would be quite involving if you were tripping balls, I think.. they were pretty good in the background while I was doing dishes, too.
Much the same in performance - when he hits a groove it's good, when he's noodling it's annoying.

He's mostly a drummer, doing a one-man-band thing here.

# Nice.
 
Okay, the CD I've got says 'made in Canada', but the mailing address for softabuse is Minneapolis. Huh.

# lots of pressing plants here.
or maybe the label ran short in minneapolis, called up north to see if there was extra stock to use up and avoid a new pressing.
