about

"We Don't Call Cops, We Cut Throats" was released on a weird business-card-shaped CDr with screenprinted tri-fold packaging designed by Joshua Hardisty. Released by the Hardisty Disk record label as a very limited edition of 40 (I think) sometime in 2004. I spent the last year of college listening to mostly just John Wiese and Dat Politics, and that kinda shows here. Catalog number: HD 005

"Humping (unedit)" was made to be the b-side of a limited 7" release of "We Don't Call Cops..." also to be released on the Hardisty Disk record label a few years later, but it never happened.

"This Town Ain't Big Enough for Any of Us" was released on the "Best Friends Forever / Terrorclops" split cassette tape in September, 2005 on the Say & Stay Said record label. Limited edition of 200, I believe. The art for it was white ink screenprinted on off-white paper and impossible to photograph, so we're including it as a "c-side" to this Terrorclops 7" that never existed.

All of these songs were built on an ancient MacBook using OS9 sound-editing software that doesn't work anymore. If I remember correctly, all of the sound inputs were mostly field recordings manipulated to oblivion and Everybell practice recordings that were pulled apart into fractions of seconds and then strung back together. Micro-edited linear compositions.

Some parts of "This Town Ain't Big Enough" sample the beginning of the Best Friends Forever song from the other side of the tape. I wanted it to sound like the BFF songs were meant to repeat on the b-side of the tape, but the song falls apart or is overtaken by the Terrorclops thing. There's also a sloppy version of "We Didn't Start The Fire" sung completely from childhood memory into an analog tape answering machine. None of this probably needs to see the light of day.
