Two tracks from the first Beams recording, which was an EP titled "Two Weeks in May". It was recorded during, as you guessed it, two weeks in May (of 2001) before Brandon Smith and David Resnick graduated from Bard College.

It was recorded using two microphones and a minidisc 8-track in the music room at the school. Brandon wrote the songs and then brought them to David, who figured out parts for lead guitars, drums, and bass.
