96/98

Between 1996 and 1998 I put down a few songs in a rather spur of the moment on my 4-track recorder.  Lyrics were made up basically on the spot while the tape was rolling.  The sounds are pretty lo-fi and the clanging of metal in some of the songs were spoons, pots and pans that made up our primitive percussion.  Jim Seagroves helped out on the racket kitchen percussion sounds as well as general chanting or making a nuisance out of everything. Back then Jim and I called ourselves "the Gidds".  Basically, it was our little gang name growing up.  We listened to NWA in high school and wanted to be white thugs.  We had our own language and mockerized the neighborhood.  Some of the songs we speak in German. I play the acoustic and electric guitar, sitar and sing the songs.  My brother Bob Guittard played bass and guitar on a few tracks as well as beat on a hand drum.  Warren Barry played the organ on Once Around the Moon as well as added to the weirdness. I used a Dr. Groove Drum machine.  I hope you like these weird songs.  At the time of the recording I was listening to a lot of Beck's Odelay.
