Sir-MIx-a BAMB. Finally we are mixing folks and it smells like hot potatoes down here. Tonight is our last night of working on this record and we are finishing here with seven songs. we are just having trouble putting this whole experience into words and everything so .....I have taken a poll as far as metaphors for how good this record is and so far we've got:

"Thad's new record is as good as.....

a) The popcorn break you take in the middle of a hot and sweaty night at the roller rink.

b) When they opened up that refrigerator on Sesame Street and all of your favorite vegetables and sandwiches were in there singing.

c) The way that big ol' fat money pouch at the school bake sale feels in your hand before you have to turn it into the principal.

d) Vienna in the Snow, St. Peter's in the Spring...."
