now that i think of it, it might not even be as hi-fi as a boombox. isn't some of this recorded on an answering machine?

The answering machine idea is mentioned in the press release, though not specifically in terms of these recordings. I could easily believe it though.

yeah, i might just be remembering bob nastanovich claiming they'd call up thurston moore's answering machine and play a whole album into it. does thurston still have the tapes!?

I'm warming to it on a second listen. First time round it was hard to get past the complete lack of fidelity. Is it crazy that it brings Jandek to mind for me at points?

Or the Frogs, but without the endless toilet humour.
