Don't Crowd Me - The Soothesayers

- (Lil Mort) is an acoustic battalion of shantycore featuring Dirty Sanchez on upright bass and lead vocals, Scot on mandolin & guitar, Skot Hambone on the washboard and "service, please" bell and Mertz on banjo.  There's additional horns on here that undoubtedly include Squanchez on the T-bone & maybe Sean on trumpet.... idfk.

This song is a brag we all have to tell at ourselves some point in our life, 
This has to be the only LPM song that is not directly about drinking, so its unique in that alone!

Baphomet Criers

Baphomet Criers - "I'd Rather Be Clogging"

This track was included on a Loco Diablo compilation in 1998.  The dude's name was Rich, and he had a group called Hate Choir, and was previously releasing some cool tracks under the name Puritan Hardcore.  This was back in cassette trading days, but he put out a few comps on CD.  this was our one track from Loco Diablo number 2.
It features Dan learning about the 'arpeggiator', and Nux learning to try to drum to it.
