i found some old tracks that Lucas and I recorded in his old apartment. Ah, the glory days.
This, I think, is our crowning achievement, under the Meme-a-Saurus name, a track called “Eat Glass, Fuck Cats”.

Also recorded during that time is another “Jam Session” as Nineteen-Ninety Nerds.

And finally, from the obscure, lost pages of New Orleans music
history comes the crowning achievement of my rock and roll high school
career, a microcassette I found and “remastered” of a practice session
of a band I was in called The Oars. Recorded some time during
the late 90s, it’s got some Sonic Youth covers in there and some
Dinosaur Jr. and Nirvana worked in of course, none of it really
sounding like the original because our amps were turned up louder than
a microcasette recorder can handle. But I think you’ll like the
original music (such as my personal fave “Disorient Express,” about a
third of way through the recording) just as much as the covers.:

Enjoy!
[edit: i must really like the phrase “crowning achievement” even
though now that i think about it, it’s ridiculous and makes no sense.]
[another edit: you can also check out my most recent musicalesque recordings here at The Partial Objects].
Man, I heard some of those lost jam sessions were even better than the recordings that are available today.
Well, at least I got to hear them live.
