In belated honor (?) of Bob Dylan's 80th, here's me first-taking a mostly forgotten and super-great song from Street-Legal, transposing it from Exile-ish 4/4 to folk-songwritery 3/4. Please do go check out the original!

Is Your Love in Vain?

A Cure-ish sounding ditty about expatriate foibles, recorded in 1997 via 4-track for the never-released Golden Penetrators collection.

Che Guevara T-shirt

1992 4-track by the best goddamn expat four-part-harmony California busking band from the spring and summer of 1992!

Jezis Maria

1993 4-track, a bit disortiony on the loud bits, sorry!

It Ain't You

Lead track on Slip Disko, the 1994 release by The Froggy Peat.

Slip Disko

My Turn Now

Final track off of never-quite-finished, never-quite-released 2006 record "Without You."

Summer Moon

Live track from the Whalen farewell show on Prague's Charles Bridge, summer of 1992.

Thanksgiving

From the never-shall-be-released 1997 analog 4-track record from the Budapest expat band The Golden Penetrators. That's the great Mike Lindsay on the fuzz bass and tortured Delicia.

Little Girl Dreams

A dear friend and musical collaborator wrote this song 30 years ago, and for some reason March 2020 seemed like the right time to subject it to a half-sane home demo.

Bodily Fluids

Have you ever *been* to Pacific Beach? Well....

Pacific Beach

Maker of three decades' worth of rock/pop/country/busking material, mostly unreleased. That ends here, maybe.
