Tanya duplicity sampling jamboree. ("John, I think I have you outnumbered: there's about 7 of me and 1 of you.") Nobody knows who's live and who's electronic. And Joey Ramone sings King Diamond. High level of confusion. (Portions highly recommended, particularly tapes 2-3.) Listen to the entire show (Taken offline). |

It means when my Dad beats me up. It's like when my Mom and Dad get into a fight and my Dad sleeps on the couch."). Interesting, eerie, moody. Lots of references to earlier shows, like Dad cart references. Still interesting as stand-alone, but voice part would be more meaningful with background of carts. But much more happens in the show. |
