Orbit | mp3 |
A Big Ballad.
Jessica called it the Radio Tune.
|
O Danny Boy | mp3 |
This was the first piece recorded as the Sharp/Whittemore Vergiftung duo.
Yes.. This is indeed a 21 minute piece. All improvised and multitracked
under the influence of drunken inspiration. We think it is still quite
enjoyable for those who appreciate such things.
|
Thing | mp3 |
Shamefully vaguely Bruce Hornsby.
|
Soon (MBV remix) | mp3 |
Got the new My Bloody Valentine single. Remixed it.
|
Lost In Her Head | mp3 |
Country & western disco pop.
Amazing what you can do by bouncing tracks between 2 DAT
machines and overdubbing simultaneously. Recorded in one
evening. Brady sings to a hat stand. Delightful slide-guitar
work by Martin Stebbing.
|
Audrey Hepburn | mp3 |
Big Happy Beat-y.
Lyrics by The Belgian Waffles. Tune by Sharp/Whittemore.
Bassline sample from the original Belgian Waffles version. "Grunge" guitar by Roman Candle's Don Baker.

Dortmunder beer rules

Club Entropy | mp3 |
You'll never guess where the string sample came from.
|
Girlfriend | mp3 |
No one seems to like this song but me, and I think it rocks.
Brady's hopelessly hopeless vocal stylings crack me up
on this one. The whimpy guitar isn't bad, either.
|
Resolution | mp3 |
Ambient, instrumental.
At volume, this one can rip your bowels open. A beautiful,
moody, self-contained dream world. I hope you enjoy it.
|
Among The Ruins | mp3 |
Introspective, sensitive guy ballad. I like the reverbed kick that
sounds like a heartbeat.
|
I'll Take Vermont | mp3 |
Bowie, or something.
|
The Chux Of Luv | mp3 |
From the now infamous National Soil Erosion Sound Laboratory
recording sessions. The payback is in the subtle details.
|
Cicero and Devon | mp3 |
A bastardization, years after the fact, of a simple geetar
strumming whimsy. Features the lovely Signals from the
Planet A.M. and a deliberately amateurish jungle drum loop.
|
Moon River | mp3 |
Deep experimentation adlib between Whittemore and Sharp.
You've been warned.

Worth waiting around for the end.
|
Maggots | mp3 |
Matt Sharp, Jody Long and I try my neighbor's patience.
|
So Sue Us | mp3 |
Matt Sharp and I bastardize some samples of the Purdue pacifist band
Icemakers Of The Revolution. This was a limited-edition release
on re-used cassettes that sold for 33 cents (after tax). The Icemakers
were perplexed. As you probably will be.
|
Whale | mp3 |
Justified ambient disco epic.

Noise. And lots of it.

A now-wiped version of Whale as recorded onto 2" tape.
|
Von Dammerung Revenge | mp3 |
In 1992, Pat Fish was accosting me with Black Eg cassettes,
so I decided to retaliate a bit. This is a massive, 23-minute, 30Meg
free-form composition.
|
I've Lost My Hold (live) | mp3 |
28Sep1991, multi-band end-of-summer event sponsored by Von's Records
of West Lafayette, IN. This is a killer Matt Sharp composition,
which completely blew away anything done by the disco fag band which
played after us.
|
Pluto (live) | mp3 |
28Sep1991, a live version of Pluto, with Jody mixing his wacky cassettes
and John Davison playing live drums.
|
My Funny Valentine (live) | mp3 |
28Sep1991, a John Davison/Matt Sharp arrangement of the classic, based
around a vocal sample of Frank Sinatra. We had technical difficulties
towards the end of this song. I've edited out most of the buzzing but
left in a bit at the tail end for those who like noise. Mmmm.
