This is a really cool show... except for that guy keeps breaking in and talking too much. I just wrote and told Andrea about this tribute, and I hope she doesn't hate it.

Wonderful example of the accordion fitting in a pretty unexpected context. There's not much "expected" here at all, and if you listen, parts of it are very very beautiful.

Also, the mono mix that somehow comes to our mp3's sure is punchy eh? Use it for the single.

Rowan informed me that this show was posted as five minutes long. So here's the whole thing. With sailor talk, and a dirty song at the end.

At the end, we play the wrong Mid-eastern track, and the metal show Into The Pit follows us with the Melvins, but keeps the Indonesian accordion going too. Roar.
