¿Cuál canciones son sus favoritos?
There are currently 92 songs posted. 92 SONGS!!! OKay, song might be too strong of a word. I should say there are 92 individual improvisational recordings, ranging in length from 57 seconds (wait stop) to 15 minutes (Cuban). These recordings have been made in a variety of places, using equipment ranging from a hand-held dictaphone to Tascam 4-tracks, to multi-channel, hi-resolution DAW interfaces. So my questions is: what makes for a good jam? Is it the location, the state-of-mind, the persons present, or the sweater Will happened to be wearing? And does everyone agree on which jams are the best? I'm curious... So, I'm proposing that everyone post their favorite jams. Try to keep your list to between 10 and 20 tracks.
Ready, set... GO!

Sweaty bare knuckles Barb. Just
the way it was meant to be.)

offering up some hidden classics
here, but just imagine a
mind-bending ten minute joke ala
Foti that I believe leads into
The Horse Diving Championships,
another all time Barb.)
3. Don't Yack (Coming to a green
screen near you. Been listening
to this one a lot. The rest of the

ever!")

Greatest overloaded base tone of
all time award.)
8. My Deepest Apologies (I really am
sorry bout that.)
9. I Want to Grow Up (Heart wrench.)
10.Christian Girl (She's a little
hotty.)
-Numbering only indicates sequence that song names popped into my head.
The Boy - Part Two:
She parts her hair (to the left)
- Claire Danes never replied to my letter
Dude, im at the airport
- if you dont know, you dont know
Livin oh so large (dime roll in my hand)
- will, we almost won a million... damn near had the bar
Universe was spinning
- Celeste got nervous when the jam spilled into her kitchen, i think foti was simultaneously playing bass and eating cheese
Where's my Sammy?
- ... and a little coleslaw in the bag? bitch! i want to eat more sammy
Shes my sister
- shes my sister, and those pictures, mean nothing to me... great jam featuring the pyramid drum
Cheeseburger in Paradise
- are you kidding me? how come bald guys never shave their heads? plus the ridiculous turn at the end, the flute solo, the mouth drums!! give it up
Ball of twine
- 4 min and 50 sec of beautiful overloaded chaos only i can follow... toward the end foti's vocals rise up, followed by will's filthy drum fill transition into some sneer rock... only leads to a completely castrated ending... it crumbled under its own potential
Bread and water
- i think we all realized early on that Nance's riff wasnt leaving anytime soon, so we embraced it. will busts out the custom "mic cable cutout" vocal effect box on this one too
