What is this shit?
Every year for the past three years, I have spend my February recording at least 30 mins and 10 songs worth of music. None of it is particularly good, but since you are old friends and made music with me at some point, I thought you might enjoy hearing what I made this month.
Regardless of the train wreck that I have created, I had a hell of a good time making it.
There are two sides to this album. The first acoustic and the second not as acoustic. Apparently that was the thing to do. I’d only rate 2 songs as COMPLETELY UNLISTENABLE and the rest as EARNEST BUT SLOPPY. Only one is WINCINGLY BIGOTED. There is murder and torture included. No alcohol was dranken (sic) during the making of the album, no matter what the singer says.
The Rotten Fucking Liars are a wrecking crew of local professionals for whom I have the utmost respect and gratitude. These are the people you want to go sailing with and take to a sewer. They have strong stomachs for incompetence. Their parents raised them on books like “Meatmeal” and “The Little Engine that Did Once and Then Wouldn’t Stop Talking About It.” They grow up under power lines and laugh hardest at things that aren’t real. There isn’t a tricky part of their wardrobes. They show up late, and if they don’t see you tight now, they will never ever think about you. Most of them have fractured fingers and the distinct inability to confuse birthdays. They need something that tells them where they are and constant reminders to be a good friend. They are going places and it’s a pleasure to be around when they pass.
They include:
Nate Lineback – Guitar (two tracks)
Noah Poole – Bass, Mandolin, Back up vocals, Drums (six songs)
Jeff Freeman – Back up vocals (one track)
Paul Whitener Jr. – Drums (two tracks)
