about

Recorded and mixed at Grampa Studio in Brooklyn, from May through October 1993. Recording and Mix-down Engineer with great ears and peerless punch-in prowess: Mick Cantarella. Mick's washer and dryer are in his studio. The dryer is featured on "One Meat Ball".

RANDOM STUDIO FACT:
 Around the same time we recorded this, Grampa Studio's other main client was a hard-core gansta-hip-hop group called MurderOne. Mick often played us their tracks during breaks.

OTHER RANDOM STUDIO FACT:
 Mick had many, many telephones in his studio and elsewhere in his house. One was a Mickey Mouse phone, and two of them, yes two, were shaped like big plastic tubes of Crest, with receivers shaped like green blobs of gel-style toothpaste. We used them to order Chinese food.

Washboard Jungle Bearsville, New York

Washboard Jungle is: Henry Hample, Stuart Cameron Vance, McPaul Smith and Bob Goldberg, who sing and play over 40 instruments between them. The band formed in 1989 in New York, and became legendary for their blend of folk inauthenticity, wannabe rock stardom, low-budget performance art, and often switching instruments mid-song. They disbanded in 1994, but clearly forgot to stop playing together. ... more
