"I was at the Beacon for the live rehearsals before they recorded All This Useless Beauty. I kinda felt
like I was in the band seeing them toss them around on stage for five NYC nights. Really GREAT shows
and the new songs were the glue, the highlights of each night. I made a compilation cassette of my
recordings with all the new songs only...quite the collection...and decided to share them as is. This
compilation contains all twelve ATUB songs plus a handful of other new/unreleased gems."
