Slower on YouTube

A couple people asked about putting up some Slower on here. I'm still trying to track down a half-way decent copy of the live set we did on WMBR's Pipeline show. It could take some time, I'm not even sure a good copy exists anymore.

In the meantime, here's a home-made video that Jeff put together for the song "Felix".

As a song, it's a pretty good example of the basic idea behind Slower: Abrasive music with ridiculously silly (and poorly sung) lyrics. We had songs about roach motels, songs based on punchlines to jokes (...because they can!) and songs that were about kicking people out of the band and taking over their spot as vocalist (purely fictional, of course). This particular song is all about the pussy.

OK:
1) Why the hell didn't you TELL me you had a blog?
2) That video freaking ROCKS! Kudos to the editing to synch the ear twitch with the beat and the cat screaming the lyrics.
3) Is that you singing?
4) You're a dork.

1) I don't tell anyone about it, it's a secret!
2) Thank you, Jeff did it. I think he's included every single video clip of us live that he has, which ain't much.
3) I don't know if I'd call that singing.
4) So true, so true.
