Notes
We recorded this in my parents' basement.
The sound quality is horrible, very muffled. This is probably because I was reusing a tape which was over a decade old. Yuck.

We dropped the vocals during the verse. The muffling is horrid. I much prefer the version on Dead Practice 3.

This was our first full version of "Drizzle". Too bad the muffled sound quality kills it.
The lyrics are about Jon (surprise surprise). This time they're not too negative.
Lyrics to "Drizzle (2)":
VERSE 1: it was a cold night in december he walked the steps all alone to the door, knowing that his friends were inside there and he stood (they're inside) on the porch (having fun) and he waited on the porch out in the cold VERSE 2: it was a wet afternoon in april he locked his car and hurried though the rain all the raindrops they couldn't wash his tears away and he cried "let me in! please let me in! hey guys, let me in! i wanna be your friend again." BRIDGE: it was a humid evening in july the band got together and played that night their music was loud and thick (thick!) they didn't need jon, had guitars and keyboards... and crazy anand on the sax funky luke on the keys groovy trav on the bass what more did they need? yeah! VERSE 1: it was a cold night in december he walked the steps all alone to the door, knowing that his friends were inside there and he stood (they're inside) on the porch having fun out in the cold

This is a so-so version. I wish it weren't so muffled.
Lyrics to "Don't Disregard Me (2)":
ANAND: what's the bridge? TRAV: there is no bridge ANAND: oh VERSE: will you understand me when i say I'm in a fit? my life is left in shambles and i feel like i maybe should quit will you still respect me when i ask for your advice? do you think you'll turn away or will you still be nice? hey! the one thing that i ask of you is will you still love me? or will you just ignore me and pretend that you're diseased? if i'm turning left then must you always turn to the right? how long will you ignore me, keep me up so late at night? CHORUS: oh please don't disregard me i goofed up but don't let this be the end no no, don't forget me i know you're hurt but try to stay my friend VERSE 2: oh, i wonder if my courage failed when i first said "hello?" 'cuz i forgot to tell you that they're something you should know i get a little shy when there is something i must ask i thought you'd get upset when i must take away my mask hey! oh, i'm not at all the guy you met when you first saw me blush (blush) i'm not so cool and more like a fool when it comes all in a rush (rush) oh you were standing next to me when i happened to cough it was small at first but then it got worse and my head toppled off! CHORUS: please don't disregard me oh i goofed up but don't let this be the end oh no, don't disconsider me i know you're hurt but try to stay my friend go anand ???

This is muffled and uninspired, but fast enough to keep you from nodding off.

The muffling is irritating and the tempo's sluggish. On the plus side, I like the embellished keyboard parts.

This sounds a little like "Aren't You Sorry" but was actually a one-off improv. I made up some lyrics about Jon. Which I had to censor. Of course.
Lyrics to "Stupid Improv":

nando trav sky trav ...
everybody scream
