Re: Shindig / Codfucker

You recorded this in APRIL?! Why didn't you send this before this before? 

This is what I had in mind. Don't release "Mudworm..." at all. All right, 

here are my comments:

GONE TO STAY - This has been a show-opener for a while and 

	it's a great way to open the album. Nice version, good choice.

WHERE WERE YOU? - Covering a Mekons song is hip right now. It won't 

	be in a few years. Nice choice.

IT'S YOUR SPINE - This is an old Bloody Hawaiians song, right? 

	I like it. So far, so good.

ASSAULT TV - I thought this was called "Bacteria".

WHOLE LOTTA PARANOID LOVE - This kids will love this. Very funny.

HITCHHIKE - Can you clean up the lyrics? It sounds like radio hit. 

	Good.

SHE'S A WIRE - Strange version... oh well, it works.

THE CHAIN - A Fleetwood Mac song?! Damn, that's good! This is the 

	way the song should have been done. Good God, that's brilliant! 

	Yes, yes, yes, YES!!!!!

WIGGLY - If Cash Nexus sets foot in your studio again, kill him.

ROCK ME GENTLY - Neil Diamond? This has always been a favorite 

	of mine. Nice lyric, too.

PSYCHEDELIC MADHOUSE - Insightful, secretive, imaginative... 

	I like it. Nice closing number.

You told me the opening line was "Bend down, grab your ankles, and get 

ready to take out a piece of you lower leg. Welcome to the Wckr Spgt 

"SHIN DIG". Did you leave this out intentionally? I think it should be 

there. Get Howard to do it.

Overall, I'd say we've got a winner. Good job, guys. Drop the "Codfucker" 

from the title and let's get this out as soon as possible. I'm going to 

Switzerland for two weeks but I'll call you when I get back.

Congratulations,
