BEDHEAD “Bedside Table” b/w “Living Well” (Direct Hit Records DH005RJN1, May 1992)
It seems like a lifetime ago. I had been living & working in New York City for a few years, and I really needed a break. Working two jobs, taking odd night gigs playing bass, sleeping on a little cot in a warehouse. It all was taking its toll on me fast.  I needed a change of scenery, so I did what any sane person would do in this situation: I borrowed a car & drove to Texas.Â
Remember The Alamo? The “Chirping” Crickets? Janis Joplin? The Butthole Surfers! Fuck yeah, and Fuck Emo’s, The Lone Star State was the place I needed to be.  So I looked up an old friend when I got to Dallas, & we proceeded to hit every rib joint, thrift store, bowling alley, strip club, country bar, record store & porno shop from Houston to Austin to San Antonio, & all points in between. We left no stone unturned, no beer undrank, no spliff unsmoked. Braised rabbit and buffalo brisket in Deep Ellum. The Grassy Knoll/The Book Depository. Emo’s. Threadgill’s. Late-night coffehouses in Denton. Waterloo. And oh, yeah…The Alamo, too. You name it, we did it, saw it, made fun of it & laughed at it. But I only kept one souvenir.
