Episode Synopsis


I present to you - complete for the first time anywhere -
the only studio album ever recorded by any version
of The Defenestration Unit anywhere...
Recorded under the guidance of Mr. Tim Kerr
at The Sweatbox in Austin - we spent the band fund on
recording it - and then that version of the band broke up...
We were never quite sure what to do with it...
Well, I went and sequenced it tonight,
compressed it a bit, and "screw"ed around with one song
(you'll know it when you hear it)...

We recorded all weekend.
Tim had us record tracks of us making noise
and whooping and hollering and such
over the tunes when we were done...
I was so delirious by the time we got to
"leroy's groove" that they had to cut that track
pretty early on as I became very obnoxious
almost right away!
go me!

anyway,
this is not "the definitive sweatbox sessions"
because there probably never will be one,
but it's a version
of what that album may have sounded like...

1. Asskicker Jones
2. Earth
3. HPW
4. Space is the Place
5. Caravan
6. In 6
7. I Put a Spell on You
8. Leroy's Groove

Kid Ornery - Trombone
Jack Babylon - Trumpet
Jim Otterson - Guitar

w/ Carl Smith - Sax on "Space is the Place" and "Earth"
