As Advertised! The name of this release-candidate was of course an in-joke against the duo of Jack Casady and Jorma Kaukonen aka "Hot Tuna", a duo that I've seen several times and whose work I did & continue to revere. The truth here is that I & SS never played w/a live drummer & frequently played w/o even a robot drummer.
The first tune is a punk tune I wrote to put on access teevee. This version is similar but not exactly the same as the version on the extant video which I will post when I'm able to. The main difference is that my vox on this version, while buried, are still audible unlike the vox on the video which are masked by tape echo. The raison d'etre for the lyrics was to write a political song that used the f* word as many times as I could (10?). What was funny was the video at ~3 minutes was good filler and appeared on the local access channel for quite some time in-between fundamentalist preachers' shows. Date 10/91?
SS is direct through his Digitech rack fx & everything else is midi.
Track_1
A piece that we worked on for 8 hours straight one Sunday afternoon. SS brought me a partial progression, we extended it and I wrote midi parts for it. On the final take, the one documented here, I stuck a live microphone in front of SS and commanded that he 'sing now, dammit' and sing he did. The lyrics are simple as he made them up line by line while he was singing them, but I always liked his ideas on this and thought them far better than 'adequate'.
Track_2
Found another version, probably a previous recording as it doesn't have vocals. Or it might be from when I archived my 4-track recordings as it wasn't mastered until some time later.
Track 2 (81st)
Last one on side one and was a rushed improv - I'd only played through this SS progression once or twice but we ran out of time and so had to record it when we did. While I made a number of (bass) mistakes in the song, I think I did a decent job of convincing unsuspecting listeners those mistakes were 'supposed to be like that'.
