my theory about the good music that comes out of ohio is as that for new jersey, and i got the idea originally from a book i never read but picked up on during class discussion in grade school. 'thought it was animal farm but i did eventually read that and it's not in there.

Umm -- I sort of jumped the gun in entering track titles ... will try to fix things later.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:13pm

But I recognise the riff so maybe the cassette features the title song twice?

This now is sort of the cassette version of a locked groove at the end of the side.

Tony Coulter:

↳ Tony Coulter @2:10
By "fix things" I mean I will try to fix the start times when the show is archived -- not the titles themselves, which are correct (including the reprise of "Dirt").

A last-minute correction: Byron tells me that he was the only member of Watercolours from Brooklyn. The others were from Manhattan and Queens. So not really a "Brooklyn band." Sorry Manhattan and Queens.
