Shortly after I recorded the songs on Bum Gravy I bought a raw acoustic album that also featured a phone ringing during one of the songs. Not really an uncommon thing for home recordists back then…having a phone ring during a take. I was a bit discouraged by the coincidence but figured I would never release that track anyway.

So now that I have released it I’m curious what that other record was. I have no idea what happened to my copy. I think I bought it at the end of 2003 but I don’t know that it was new at that time.

The CD came in a cardboard sleeve. I believe recycled with a distinctive pulp… ?

Whatever, it was matte brown (not colored, that was the material) and had a black fly on it. I believe there were dashes indicating the trail the fly had walked but I could be wrong. It’s raw acoustic stuff. That’s all I remember.

Anyone know what this is? Let me know on Twitter or something.

I remember liking it.
