from the album The Flexible Dime
In 2000, Crave visited his old friend Scrapdog at his apartment in Albany, NY. The two wrote and recorded this strange tune which the lyrics proclaim “the greatest song ever written”. It was recorded bouncing layers back and forth on a 4-track.
Some of the lyrics are quite revealing; the section towards the end (‘mothers blonde had both’) lists all the ways in which Crave and Scrapdog had discovered their lives so far similar at age 18.
Five years later in Seattle, the two re-recorded it slicker and more trippy.
