Recorded live at the 1999 Yoyo a Go Go festival. These are the things I (Pat Maley) love about this record:
John from C Average as J.R.R. Tolken opening their six-minute rock trilogy.
The depth of the bass drum and height of Mirah's breathy singing.
The Mountain Goats going electric at Yoyo '99.
Mecca Normal's 15 year old message in a bottle arriving to save us all.
Marine Research presenting a dissertation on the perfect english pop song.
The Moools reminding us all of how pop and punk should sound together.
Sleater-Kinney popping the party balloons in favor of punk.
Every door in the Capitol Theater being blown out by Ramsted.
The triumphant return of Bratmobile.
The Need's glimpse of the future of metal.
Super Duo barfing and baring their soul.
Still not being sure how Old Time Relijun can sound the way they do.
The sense that the top of my head will be blown off by the Lowdown.
The Tight Bros From Way Back When being tight, bros, and from Olympia.
Red Monkey doing more for protesting than the Seattle Police Department.
How no one is as honest with me as the Cannanes.
How no one is truly louder than Loud Machine.
The heart breaking harmonies of the Microphones.
All the hope one can find in a sad Rebecca Pearcy song.
All the hope one can find in a rocked out Crabs song.
How Negativland can get 700 people to scream "diddly shit" after two hours of tape loops.
