Starting around 94ish, every time I wanted to record something I'd grab this tape. I'm going to do a series of posts exploring the murky depths of the green Denon tape. Part 1: An instrumental by myself and Ian Peacock.
Ian was the first guy I played music with in high school. He was steeped in 90s indie rock tradition and lent me Superchunk's Foolish on vinyl and Liz Phair's Exile In Guyville, and played me "I Am A Scientist" and lots of K Records stuff. I named his band Dagobah Playset, so he invited me to join, even though I could just barely play a G chord at the time. We'd later go on to form The Manny Trillo with Erin. It took me hours to figure out who was playing this song, since it's clear that neither the guitar or the drums were being played by either of my brothers. I feel a clear Buddy Sevaris influence is evident.
And just to show that I am magnanimous when it comes to embarrassing old photos, please enjoy this goddamn trainwreck:
