We are indebted to Julian Wu for many things, not least for recording Dave’s band costar in 1996. Here’s Everything Fixed Is Killed. It really is a spine-chilling 7.5 minutes of genius from the tentatively titled but unreleased Bootleg EP. Unreleased but heard by many, just like a real bootleg come to think of it. […]

Kneel So Low a 1996 David McComb demo. This was done before the costar recording and is hard evidence of the quality of David’s later songs. A bit of recycling going on here.

Two new audio tracks – Paradise from Tape 4 (under The Triffids), […]
