CIRCUS, S&SR compilation ‡ flesh & stuff

Anxious Beehive (5:22)

A "mid-period" song for Scratch and Sniff Records compilation. This song was written almost directly after the "Open House" songs.

DEKALB STILL SMELLS, S&SR comp ‡ flesh & stuff

Mistreated (4:54)

Currently, Scratch and Sniff Records last and most ambitious compilation. Spanning two discs and released in 2006, we'll see if we ever top this comp.

WHEREVER, Hometown compilation ‡ flesh & stuff

Goldblatt's (3:33)

Song about growing up in Rockford, Ill., for Greentape compilation about your hometown. Goldblatt's was an abandoned department store by my childhood house.

Track 1 (8:58)
Track 2 (7:15)
Track 3 (5:02)
Track 4 (6:42)
Track 5 (12:33)
Track 6 (10:12)
Track 7 (5:26)

A tragically short-lived band with Nick Sherman, Elizabeth Hill and a 15-pack of Stroh's writing eight songs a week during the spring of 2006. This is a recording of a few songs messily done during a practice. I still maintain this is the most fun I've ever had in a band.

RANDOM ‡ flesh & stuff

What a Fool Believes, the Doobie Bros. (3:56)
Three phases in the progression of an idea: I (0:08), II (0:08), III (0:08)

Random stuff that doesn't fit into any of the listings so far.
